Presentation Transcript

  1. The Interdisciplinary Center Herzliya, Dec 3rd 2007 Ofer Shezaf, CTO, Breach Security ofers@breach.com

  2. Thanks! • To our Sponsors: • To the Speakers • And to these wonderful people: • Dr. Anat Bremler-Bar, Our host today. • Shay Shuker and Avi Aminov who helped organize things. • Bat-Sheva Shezaf who volunteered to be the photographer.

  3. What is OWASP? The Open Web Application Security Project • Non-profit, volunteer driven organization. • Activities: • Projects (~40 of them): • Publications: OWASP TOP 10, OWASP Guide, OWASP Testing Guide, CLASP • Testing and Training Software: WebGoat, WebScarab • Chapters (more that a 100 up from 80 six months ago) • Conferences (9, including this one!) • Membership: Not mandatory. A contribution. • But it helps to pay the bills.

  4. OWASP IL • One of the most successful chapters. • This is the 3 conference, with participation of hundreds. • Normal meetings get 50 to 60 people. • Next year we plan: • A full day two tracks annual conference in the fall. • Something different for spring (ideas?). • Quarterly meetings. • What else? • It depends very much on you, I will try to start…

  5. Announcing: OWASP IL Scholarships Program • Application security got a lot of attention from the industry and much less from the Academic world. We would like to push for more Academic research in this field. • The program calls for companies to provide grants for academic projects related to application security. • Program Guidance: • Dr. Anat Bremler-Bar will be the academic director of the program. • A steering committee would include representatives from other universities and the industry. • Program details: • Research projects submitted must be active projects, proposed by either the Academia or the industry. • The steering committee will review the proposals and select the appropriate ones. • Each project will submit a paper for following OWASP conference. • Each grant will be 5000 shekels, for any use, half at start and half on paper submission. • A more detailed program plan would be distributed shortly. • We are looking for universities and companies who would like to participate or sponsor the scholarship.

  6. Announcing: Computer for Every Student • Nothing to do with application security: • But takes advantage of the relationship between industry and Academia that we create. • And doing something for the community (and the environment) is always good. • We encourage companies to contribute computers phased out to students who need them: • Must be working computers. • Can be old. Just need to be able to run Office and be able to connect to the Internet. • Software and support will be handled by the University (which is the reason we focus on this segment). • We already started: • Breach Security is contributing computers to Tel-Hai Academic College.
