OWASP Belfast event!

Hello OWASP Belfast!

We are delighted to announce that we are back with our first hybrid event for 2023 with an exciting line up of talks from industry leaders. The Meet up will be in partnership with ESO, who have also kindly offered to host the evening and provide pizza, beers and soft drinks for everyone!

Date: 25th May 2023
Time: 6.30 PM
Location: ESO, 42 Fountain St, Belfast BT1 5EF.

Or join us virtually by Zoom: https://eso.zoom.us/j/93766328107

First, we will talk about threat modelling, its importance to developers, and how it can be implemented as a continuous approach within the development pipeline. This will naturally lead into a discussion about the current TOP 10 threats by OWASP focusing specifically on: HTTP request smuggling, mass assignment attacks, plus terraform security best practices. Finally, to wrap up, we’ll discuss how automation
can help address OWASP vulnerabilities, the importance of design principal prioritisation and how the utilisation of code analysis can improve vulnerability detection, management, and remediation as part of the development pipeline.
