Everyone is free to participate in OWASP and all of our materials are available under a free and open software

license. Apart from OWASP’s Top 10, most OWASP Projects are not widely used and understood. In most cases
this is not due to lack of quality and usefulness of those Document & Tool projects, but due to a lack of
understanding of where they fit in an Enterprise’s security ecosystem or in the Web Application Development
Life-cycle.
This event aims to change that by providing an insight into the issues of cybercrime, its impact and detection
and a selection of mature and enterprise ready approaches together with practical examples of how to use
them.
