What we’re about

This is the meetup headquarters for the Bay Area chapter of the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP). This group is dedicated to bringing together the massive amount of Bay Area web application security talent and interest in the form of presentations, talks, conferences, and any other kind of get-together we want to come up with.

We're looking to facilitate all types of meetings between members, from formal conferences to little meetups at a Bay Area coffee shop. The key advantage of meetup.com is that we can benefit from the shared calendar, which is available via iCal, Google Calendar, etc.

We encourage you to get involved in every way possible. Recommend events, put together a local meetup at a coffee shop, restaurant, or bar, or put together a talk to present at one of these venues.

We look forward to hearing from you and seeing you at a local event!

Talk#1: Redefining Data Security Architecture in the Age of AI
Description: As artificial intelligence reshapes how organizations process and leverage data, the responsibility to secure that data grows exponentially. This session explores how Intuit is redefining data protection architecture in the age of AI through automation, advanced cryptography, and self-service developer experiences. Attendees will learn how Intuit’s Data Security Capability integrates Sensitive Data Management (SDM), Advanced Cryptography, and Non-Human Identity (NHI) Management to deliver a holistic, scalable, and intelligent approach to securing sensitive information across the enterprise.
“Data security isn’t just about protection — it’s about enabling innovation securely in the AI era.”
Speakers: Ashwin Venkatasubbaraya - Group Manager at Intuit, Data Security
Dmitry Izumskiy - Principal Software Engineer at Intuit, Platform and Development Acceleration
Praveen Keshavamurthy - Principal Software Engineer at Intuit, Data Security
Talk #2 From input-handling flaws to crashables: Security lessons from LLM-based coding tools
ABSTRACT: Claude Code illustrates how LLM-based coding tools expand the attack surface. Design choices around approvals, parsing, and error handling can turn into security flaws. We present specific findings Kodem uncovered in Claude Code. Both issues highlight how LLM-based coding tools introduce new misconfiguration and input-handling risks. This talk dissects the issues, their broader implications for AI developer tools, and practical mitigations
Speaker #2 Roy Talyosef, Software engineer at Kodem
