OWASP Frankfurt Chapter #68 - Special Edition with OWASP Founder

Hello everyone, we're excited to invite you to our OWASP Chapter meeting #68! Our 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.

Special Event Announcement: This time, we are hosting a special event featuring two distinguished speakers.

First, we'll hear from Jeff Williams, CTO of Contrast Security and one of the OWASP core founding members, who will deliver a thought leadership talk on OWASP and the Evolution of AppSec. He’ll discuss key movements like DevSecOps and Secure by Design, why they haven’t changed the AppSec trajectory, and the market challenges impeding progress. Expect an engaging, interactive session with insights from over 25 years in the field.

Following Jeff, we are thrilled to have Kevin Wennemuth, Head of Security at codecentric AG, join us. Kevin, a security specialist, hacker, blogger, and thinker, will be sharing his war stories at his talk "Stories from the Dark Side" where he explores the real-life challenges of a Red Teamer and the harsh truths of IT security.

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

What are we going to talk about? For this meeting, we're excited to have Jeff Williams and Kevin discuss the latest in application security. Additionally, we will provide updates from our recent OWASP projects, particularly those related to AI. Stay tuned for the announcement of another speaker who will be joining us!

Afterwards? We will begin and conclude the evening with the opportunity to socialize at the venue with free food and both cold & hot drinks. For those interested, we will continue socializing at the Bockenheimer Weinkontor afterward.

When? Our Meetup takes place on 10.10.2024 from 18.00 to 22.00 o'clock CEST.

Where? The event will be held at codecentric AG, located at Lise-Meitner-Straße 4, 60486 Frankfurt am Main, Germany.
