Government and Industry to Collaborate on Applicaton Security
OWASP AppSec Conference - Washington DC - Oct. 10, 2005
The OWASP AppSec Conference series is a focused forum for industry and security researchers to communicate about application security iissues. Aspect Security has supported OWASP since its inception, and has played a key role in the growth of the application security community.
Jeff Williams, founder and CEO of Aspect Security as well as Chairman of the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) Foundation said, “This is a special opportunity for sharing of best practices between the US Government and the worldwide web application community at OWASP. The OWASP AppSec conferences aren't commercially focused, so the papers and presentations are the unbiased work of the best application security researchers around...and OWASP is a not-for-profit, so the conference fees are extremely low."
The NIST conference will feature government speakers like Joe Jarzombek, Director of Software Assurance at DHS and Ron Ross, FISMA Project Lead at NIST. A number of NIST presentations will help to explain their application security activities. There will also be technical presentations from leading application security experts and industry.
