OWASP Frankfurt Chapter & Women in CyberSecurity Meetup #71

Hello everyone, we're excited to invite you to joint OWASP Frankfurt Chapter & Women in CyberSecurity Meetup #71!
Our OWASP Chapter serves central Germany, particularly within the Rhine-Main (Hesse) region, as a platform to discuss and share information on application security topics. Anyone interested and enthusiastic about application security or security in general is welcome. All meetings are free and open. You do not have to be an OWASP member to attend our event.
WiCyS aims to break down barriers and promote diversity in cybersecurity by empowering women and other underrepresented groups with resources for professional growth. Additionally, the organization is committed to creating a safer digital environment by supporting vulnerable individuals and advocating for inclusivity in the cybersecurity community.

What are we going to talk about?

• AI and Machine Learning im Cybersecurity: Weapon, shield, or both?: We are excited to welcome Sara Rahimi, Concierge Security Engineer at Arctic Wolf - who will explore the dual role that Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning play in the Cybersecurity area as a powerful tool for attackers and offensive purposes, also for enhancing the defense mechanisms and detection aspects.
• Web 3.0 security: same fundamentals, higher stakes - Dr. Gulnara Hein, CISO at Chintai, will dive into how Web3, while introducing decentralization and new security challenges like smart contract vulnerabilities and irreversible financial losses, essentially reflects the same fundamental risks as in traditional systems. By focusing on core security controls, we can effectively address these challenges without adding unnecessary complexity.

Socializing Opportunities: There will be plenty of time to socialize before and after the event.

Afterwards? We will begin and conclude the evening with the opportunity to socialize at the venue with free food and both cold & hot drinks.

When? Our Meetup takes place on 20.03.2025 from 18.00 to 22.00 o'clock CEST.

Where? The event will be held at Arctic Wolf, located at 19th floor of Messeturm, Friedrich-Ebert-Anlage 49, 60308 Frankfurt am Main
