Our Goals
-
Equality
We strive to create an inclusive environment by bringing together people from research, academia, and industry. Our aim is to empower individuals to pursue careers in cybersecurity and promote diversity and equality within the workforce. -
Education
We're dedicated to nurturing the next generation of cybersecurity talent. Connect those new to the field and come along to talks from industry professionals that showcase the many facets of cybersecurity, including diverse applied topics such as security for startup founders, starting a career in security, AppSec in a SaaS context, deep-dives into niche areas such as payments, AI security, as well as data breaches and broader privacy issues. -
Community
Our goal is to help you connect with like-minded individuals. Whether you're new to cybersecurity or a seasoned professional, we aim to foster a community where everyone can openly discuss current issues in cybersecurity, employment opportunities, and more. By providing networking opportunities, we encourage everyone to engage in the community and forge new connections.
Interested In Speaking?
We're always open to speakers who want to present talks aligned with our Chapter goals and this year's theme of diverse applied topics. Whether you're an experienced speaker or a first-timer, we'd love to hear from you. If you're interested, please email your proposed topic, abstract, and brief speaker bio to sydney-chapter@owasp.org.
Interested In Hosting An Event?
We're on the lookout for venue hosts who can accommodate 30-50 attendees and provide a screen for presentations. Hosting an OWASP meetup is a great way to support the security community while showcasing your commitment to security excellence. Please note that hosts are expected to cater pizza and beverages for attendees. If you're interested in becoming a host, let us know at sydney-chapter@owasp.org.
