Aspect Security Sponsors 4th OWASP AppSec Conference
Industry Leaders Unite to Discuss Application Security Challenges
OWASP AppSec Conference - Belgium - May 1, 2006
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, “The international community is incredibly active in application security. Members from India, England, Belgium, Italy, and many other countries are making a huge difference 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 Belgium conference will have a balance of technical presentations and presentations that focus on non-technical aspects of application security. Keynotes from Dinis Cruz and Andrew van der Stock will focus on current OWASP activities and ideas for growth.
