[Novalug] Open Web Application Security Project - AppSec Conference

Note: I am on the Program Committee for the AppSecDC 2010 Conference (as
well as 2009), but given that OWASP is a non-profit organization, and the
conference itself is a non-profit event, I thought it may be of interested
to some people on this list.  In particular if Security is part of your job,
or you've been tossed the WAF (Web Application Firewall) in your
infrastructure as a responsibility.

AppSec DC is just 1 week away!  We have a great schedule (http://schedule.
appsecdc.org) this year with 4 tracks of amazing talks and a selection of
great training classes at rock bottom prices.  Register now at http://reg.
appsecdc.org



Highlights will include keynotes from Neal Ziring of the Information
Assurance Directorate of the National Security Agency (NSA) and Ron Ross of
the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), panel discussions
of federal CISOs on their experiences with implementing application
security, 50 plenary presentations by leading personalities in the field of
web application security.

Also this year, AppSec DC has partnered with entities within the Department
of Homeland Security, the Department of Defense, the National Institute of
Standards and Technology, the National Security Agency, and other government
agencies who will be contributing content focusing on Software Assurance and
the role that that plays in areas such as protecting Critical Infrastructure
or Supply Chain Risk Management.

In addition to two days of great speaking content, a track by the federal
government, keynotes and panels, AppSec DC will also provide two days of
world class training on applications security from a variety of vendors at a
fraction of the cost found at other events.  Training courses include:



*2-Day Courses ($1495)*

- Assessing and Exploiting Web Applications with Samurai-WTF

- Leading the AppSec Imitative

- Remote Testing for Common Web Application Security Threats

- Software Security Best Practices



*Single Day Courses ($745)*
