OWASP MSP CHAPTER MEETING MARCH 2017

Welcome to the March 2017 OWASP MSP Chapter Meeting

We are pleased to present Girish Nair, who will speak about Instrumenting Software and Software Security.

Abstract:

In our physical world, we have instrumentation all around us. Clocks tell us time, kitchen ovens tell us temperature, cars tell us speed, fuel level and even has onboard health diagnostics. At our homes, we have security alerts when someone trespasses our property or opens a door. However, in the world of software, we have very little visibility into what is going on inside the software. Our presenters will describe how instrumentation can be used to enable your software applications to both detect vulnerabilities and block attacks. Furthermore, they will demonstrate the insights offered by using instrumentation and why this approach can offer add speed to your development cycle while improving the context and accuracy of vulnerabilities to your security program.
