What we’re about
The Open Worldwide Application Security Project (OWASP) is a not-for-profit, organization focused on improving the security of all software. Our mission is to improve software security through Open Source initiatives, community education, and networking. Everyone is free to participate in OWASP and all of our materials are available under a free and open software license.
The OWASP LA (Los Angeles) chapter was formed in 2008. We hold meetings on the 4th Wednesday of every month, featuring great speakers on important appsec topics. Join us for food, drinks, to network and understand what application security is really about.

TOPIC: Program Analysis: From Difficult to Impossible
Join us for great networking, dinner and drinks, and see a presentation by Brandon Wu, Program Analysis Engineer at SemgrepABSTRACT: This talk is a cursory introduction into the field of static application security testing (SAST), which concerns the verification of source code for security purposes. In particular, this talk concerns the field of static analysis (a sub-field of program analysis), the art of analyzing, diagnosing, and remediating source code with computers. We will discuss the techniques and mathematical limitations of the field, which seek to answer the question: "How can we solve a problem which is fundamentally impossible?". An understanding of compilers will be helpful, but not necessary.

Defining Cybersecurity-Readiness: How do you evaluate yours?
When looking at how to best protect your business, cybersecurity readiness should be top priority, but what is it? Let’s discuss GRC & the best steps to take when quantifying cyber risk, developing your incident response plan, creating a data security policy & more.
2024 & The Biggest Threats to Your Business
On this panel our lineup of industry experts will discuss the most dangerous and emerging threats to your organization as well as the solutions that go beyond anti-malware/anti-virus to include endpoint security, vulnerability management, Active Directory monitoring, credential protection, DNS security tools, SIEM, DLP and encryption.
Conceptualizing Cloud Security & Why it Matters Today
Cloud computing solves many problems like flexibility, cost-efficiency & scalability, so it’s no surprise that use of the cloud is consistently growing.
