DeveloperWeek Enterprise 2023

Josh Grossman, Bounce Security, Chief Technology Officer

When it comes to security, we are all trying to figure out how to do more, in less time and less budget.

How would you like to have:
• A simple outline to get you started in software security.
• Comprehensive requirements to use as a security baseline.
• Detailed guides on how to write secure code in various languages and situations.
• Sample vulnerable applications you can use to challenge your security knowledge.
• A community of security experts who are usually happy to answer questions and help out.

…and all for the low, low price of FREE!

OWASP, the Open Web (and) Application Security Project can bring you this and more. However, with over 200 different projects and no easy way for someone outside the ecosystem to know where to start, some of the best resources might be the least known.

In this talk, I will use my experience working with OWASP in a variety of areas to walk you through the key projects that can help you at different stages of your software security journey such as those noted above. I will also highlight the less obvious benefits that it offers you which could potentially save you time and money.

You will leave with ideas and tricks which you can immediately adopt in your day job to level up your security knowledge, impress your peers, and maybe have some fun along the way!
