Note: This is the LAST reminder I'm planning to send for the OWASP conference, which is now only 2 weeks away. Dear Colleague, OWASP is holding its annual European Application Security Conference May 30-31, 2006 at the Catholic University of Leuven (aka Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, or K.U. Leuven) in Leuven, which is 25 km from Brussels. AGENDA: This conference has dual tracks like last years' US conference. The speakers and agenda is available on the OWASP website at http://www.owasp.org/conferences/appsec2006europe.html. This year's speakers include popular speakers from previous conferences like Dinis Cruz and Ivan Ristic, but also includes many new speakers to the OWASP Conference, including Andrew Van Der Stock (project lead for the OWASP Guide), Roger Thornton (CTO of Fortify), Amit Klein, and a set of refereed papers as well. PANELS: We also have introduced for the first time three panels, which should generate some lively debate. The first panel is on "Should companies be emulating Microsoft's Security Development Lifecycle (SDL)?". The 2nd is on: "Are we winning the war?" - Are we actually getting a handle on application security issues and making things better, or are things still getting worse? The 3rd panel will be on "The role of Sandboxing in creating secure .Net and Java applications." REGISTRATION DETAILS: Registration is open and the conference fee 350 Euros. http://www.owasp.org/docroot/owasp/Registration/index.jsp TUTORIALS - May 29, 2006: OWASP has arranged to have two one-day tutorials the day prior to the conference. These one day tutorials will be held at the university and are only 600 Euros for conference attendees. FOUNDATIONS OF APPLICATION SECURITY COURSE: This powerful hands on course focuses on the most common web application security problems, including the OWASP Top Ten. The course introduces and demonstrates hacking techniques, illustrating how application vulnerabilities can be exploited so students really understand how to avoid introducing such vulnerabilities into their code. WEB SERVICES and XML SECURITY: The movement towards Web Services and Service Oriented architecture (SOA) paradigms requires new security paradigms to deal with new risks posed by these architectures. This session takes a pragmatic approach towards identifying Web Services security risks and selecting and applying countermeasures to the application, code, web servers, databases, application, and identity servers and related software. More details on these training courses are available at: http://www.owasp.org/conferences/appsec2006europe/training.html EVENING SOCIAL EVENT - May 30, 2006: The traditional evening dinner/social event is being held at the nearby Faculty Club. The Faculty club is a restaurant annex conference centre located in a medieval part of Leuven. We can walk there from the conference, and will have a social hour followed by a 3-course dinner. Dinner is typically followed by drinks nearby. The dinner event is 40 Euros. HOTELS - We have arranged for conference rates at nearby hotels. More information is available at: http://www.owasp.org/conferences/appsec2006europe/accommodations.html. These rates are subject to availability and may already be gone. If you know others that would be interested in attending this OWASP conference, please forward them this email and let them know about this opportunity. Please contact me with any questions. Looking forward to seeing you there!
