OWASP Chennai Meet - 17 May 2009

The OWASP Chennai Chapter meet was held on the 17th of May 2009 at Chennai. It was very nice to see some dynamism from the OWASP Community in India. I am happy to see great steps being taken by the Chennai OWASP Team (Chandrasekar and the rest) in taking initiative.

The talks scheduled for the day were on Globalization and its role in Information Security and Mobile Crimes

I was invited to speak and I spoke on Application Security Risk, in a talk entitled "Application Security Risk - The Full Circle"

Here's the presentation:

This presentation highlights the importance of Application Security Risk and how to perform effective and comprehensive Risk Assessments for Web Applications to provide for a robust protection strategy. It highlights how an effective Application Security Risk Assessment can result in the development of a secure SDLC, feed the Security Testing area with threat modeling and the development of "Abuse Cases" and become the foundation for a strong and secure web application.
