Application Security for the Modern Web

OWASP Triangle Chapter is back for 2017! We are making some changes to enhance your experience as a member of this Meetup! Starting this month, we'll provide two separate talks at each Meetup. We'll also have dinner each time, so that those coming directly from work do not go hungry! iContact is our new meeting space sponsor, so please look closely at the new location. We no longer need to collect names and employers, but still please RSVP so we ensure that we order enough food.

We're proud to welcome Phillip Maddux (AKA Px Mx AKA foospidy) as our primary speaker. Phillip works at Signal Sciences, and will share a talk entitled "Application Security for the Modern Web":

Over the last several years we’ve witnessed, and experienced, an advance towards new approaches in web technologies and the processes to deploy web applications. In this talk, we’ll explore and describe the “Modern Web”, discuss observations on the evolution of the Secure SDLC, recognize existing challenges in achieving real-time threat visibility once web applications are deployed to production, and finally, walk through the concepts that address the challenges in fast paced “agile” development cycles.

Before the main talk we will have food and Steve Pinkham will kick off our new series called "Back to Basics". Each meeting we'll have a short introductory talk covering one of the OWASP Top 10 Application Security Threats. This month we will cover #1: Injection

The meetings food is being provided primarily with funds donated by HPE / Fortify. We thank them for their support of OWASP's mission to increase software security awareness and effectiveness, and hope you will let them know you appreciate it in any future interactions you have with them.
