What we’re about
Welcome to the open-appsec Meetup Group in Paris!
Whether you're securing cloud workloads, managing large-scale microservices, or just curious about next-gen AppSec for protecting your web applications and APIs — this is the place for you!
open-appsec is an open-source Web Application & API security project (WAF) that uses machine learning to deliver pre-emptive protection against OWASP-Top-10 vulnerabilities and zero-day attacks. No signatures, no rule-tweaking — just smart, scalable security for your infrastructure.
It integrates seamlessly on Linux, Docker and Kubernetes platforms with many popular Reverse Proxies, Ingress and API Gateways such as NGINX, Envoy, Kong, APISIX, Istio and others, making it easy to add security without the maintenance burden of traditional WAFs.
🔍 What to Expect at Our Meetups:
- How to use machine learning for proactive Web App & API security
- Deploying a fully pre-emptive WAF solution for protection
against known and unknown (zero-day) attacks
- Managing NGINX deployments using a centralized SaaS tool
- Real-world use cases and deployment examples
- Live demos, open discussions & hands-on walkthroughs
- Plenty of time for Q&A, networking, food, and drinks
👥 Who Should Join:
- Developers and DevOps / DevSecOps engineers
- Security professionals & WAF / AppSec practitioners
- Anyone interested in open-source security tools or modern cloud-native security.
Join us and be part of a growing community shaping the future of open-source security!
