OWASP

The Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP), the premier global not-for-profit devoted to improving software security, is hosting a special security boot camp open to the public for FREE

WHAT:
The course will introduce and demonstrate application assessment techniques, illustrating how application vulnerabilities can be exploited so students really understand how to avoid introducing such vulnerabilities in their code and understand fixes.

WHEN:
Monday, Feb. 24, 2014 2pm-5pm

WHERE:
Jillian's Billiards Club of San Francisco
175 Fourth Street, San Francisco, CA 94103

(Across the street from Moscone Center where the RSA Conference is being held.) The boot camp will be followed by an open Happy Hour sponsored by the Bay Area OWASP Chapter from 5pm-7pm, also at Jillian's.

COST:
The training is a FREE service of OWASP, open to anyone interested in securing their code.

Pre-registration is recommended to guarantee a spot in the training, but we will accept walk-ins based on available space. The Happy Hour is open to the public and no registration is required. To register for training, visit: http://www.eventbrite.com/e/free-owasp-training-tickets-10302967453
