The Largest Application Security Conference Offers Something for Everyone
AppSecUSA is the largest conference solely dedicated to application security. Unlike similar conferences which only offer speaker sessions, AppSecUSA also offers cutting edge trainings conducted by leaders in the field, opportunities for women and those transitioning from military service to network and develop their careers, and significant discounts for students to learn about security careers.
Below are a few of the many ways guests can participate at AppSecUSA and take advantage of the holistic content available.
Trainings to Prepare the Next Generation of Cybersecurity Experts
AppSecUSA kicks off with two full days of hands-on training sessions led by the industry’s leading software security experts. Attendees will learn useful tactics such as: penetration testing techniques used to test individual components of a control system; assessing SAP platforms for platform-specific vulnerabilities and exploit them to better understand the involved business risk; how to exploit iOS and Android applications providing an in-depth knowledge about the different kinds of vulnerabilities in an mobile applications; and how to implement scalable and effective security for rapid-release applications.
Additionally, attendees can participate in the AppSec Safari that takes participants on a guided tour of cross-site scripting, SQL injection, privilege escalation and more. If you’re an application developer or security practitioner who is looking to solidify your theoretical knowledge, you won’t want to miss the Safari!
Diverse Speaker Line-up
AppSecUSA speakers come from all walks of life and are experts in a wide array of information and application security topics. From renowned white hat hackers to trusted educators and government employees working to protect the nation’s critical assets, attendees have abundant opportunities to learn about and debate today’s cybersecurity hot topics. Here are just a few speakers we have in store:
Corry Doctorow, renowned novelist, activist and journalist will discuss the intersection of DRM and security research.
Samy Kamkar, researcher, hacktivist and entrepreneur will discuss how he uses side channels, physics, and low cost tools to employ powerful attacks against modern technology.
Casey Ellis, co-founder of Bugcrowd, shares best practices for implementing an effective bug bounty program.
Advancing Women in App Sec
OWASP’s Women in AppSec (WIA) initiative encourages female students at the undergraduate and graduate levels, instructors, military personnel transitioning out of service, and professional working women to expand their skills and pursue a career in application and/or information security.
WIA has exciting events in store for AppSecUSA 2016, including a network reception to meet like-minded industry professionals and make connections to help launch or expand your career in the security industry, and a mentoring luncheon to engage with mentors in the field and learn from experts what it takes to develop your career.
WIA is also offering sponsorships for women transitioning from development and security-based jobs in the military to attend AppSecUSA.
All This and Much More…
In addition to the fascinating opportunities above and our usual Maker and Breaker talks, AppSecUSA is hosting speaking tracks dedicated to Mobile, IoT, and Rugged DevOps. The event will also offer opportunities for developers and project managers to test their knowledge and participate in educational hands-on trainings.
