OWASP Boston Chapter November 2023 Meetup

Join us at the OWASP Boston Meetup this month to get a hands-on lesson about IAST from Pranoy De and Tony Quadros. During the session Pranoy and Tony, will answer the questions, what is IAST, and how can it make your developer’s lives easier.

**Attendees must bring their own laptop and be in-person to participate in the hands-on workshop portion of this event

**Attendees must provide their name and email addresses (please place in "Current Role" box) information at time of registration to participate in the hands-on workshop portion of this event.

This session will give you a foundational understanding of IAST (Interactive Application Security Testing), what it is, how it works, and provide you, as a security engineer or software developer, with the knowledge of how it can make your lives easier when it comes to doing security analysis of your applications and code. You will then be able to get hands on experience with IAST, using it to find vulnerabilities in a sample application then be able to go in and actually remediate the findings.

After attending this session, you will understand the fundamentals of IAST (Interactive Application Security Testing) and have actual hands-on experience with the testing methodology.
