What we’re about
OWASP is a not-for-profit, worldwide organization focused on improving the security of all software. Our mission is to improve software security through Open Source initiatives and community education. Everyone is free to participate in OWASP and all of our materials are available under a free and open software license.
The OWASP Los Angeles chapter was formed in 2008 by Cassio Goldschmidt who served as its first president followed by Tin Zaw and Richard Greenberg. Under their leadership, OWASP LA was awarded Chapter of the Year. OWASP LA was one of the founding chapters of the world-reknown AppSec California conferences.
We hold meetups on the 4th Wednesday of every month, featuring great speakers on important security topics. Join us for food, drinks, and to socialize and understand what application security is really about.

Join us for great networking, dinner and drinks, and see a presentation by Miguel (Mike) O. Villegas, President and Founder of iSecurePrivacy, LLC.ABSTRACT: In today's digital landscape, the protection of user privacy has become a paramount concern. As web developers, it is our responsibility to ensure that the websites and applications we create not only deliver exceptional user experiences but also prioritize the privacy and security of user data. This lecture, "Privacy by Design for Web Developers," explores the foundational principles and practical strategies that empower web developers to integrate privacy into every facet of their work.
In this lecture, we will delve into the concept of Privacy by Design (PbD) and its significance in the context of web development. We will examine how PbD serves as a proactive approach to safeguarding user data, fostering trust, and complying with evolving privacy regulations such as the GDPR and CCPA/CPRA.SPONSORSHIP Opportunities Available
