OWASP LA Monthly In-Person Meeting - May 28, 2025

/** NOTE NEW LOCATION **/
TOPIC: Adversarial Intelligence: Redefining Application
Join us for great networking, dinner and drinks, and see a presentation by Chris Arciaga, Account Executive, Kodem Security

ABSTRACT:
This presentation explores Adversarial Intelligence - an approach that views application security from an attacker’s perspective. Drawing from vulnerability research experience at the NSO Group and building Pegasus, the speaker will highlight how overlooked low and medium vulnerabilities can be combined to execute successful attacks. By examining attack chains and application runtime behavior, attendees will see how gaps often missed by traditional methods are exposed. Attendees will learn about effective tools and techniques for detecting and mitigating these threats, especially in cloud-native and distributed systems. Designed for security practitioners and academics, this session provides a deeper understanding of defending against sophisticated attackers by adopting their mindset.

Thanks to our SPONSOR: Kodem Security
