This months talk(s):

Talk 1 - 7:00 PM

Talk Title: Authentication and Automation: using ZAP for compliance scanning by Sarah Gibson

Abstract: OWASP ZAProxy is the swiss army knife of FOSS application testing. It includes the ability to use it as a dynamic application security test, in addition to using it as an application pentesting tool. The scanning features allow for authentication and automation, but it can be tricky to use both of these features together. This talk will dive into how to ensure your automated scans login and stay that way.

Speaker Bio: Co-organizer of the Boston Security Meetup. Scan gremlin and general app-sec nerd.

Talk 2 - 7:45 PM
