OWASP Developer Day 2024

1 hour and 45 minute open discussion for the entire room on a specific topic, facilitated by the host(s).  The room will be set up as a large round table (20-24 people) to maximize visibility of all participants

What if we could prevent a vulnerability from every being created? Join us for a brainstorming event focused on creating secure guardrails for organizations to help nudge developers towards more secure coding practices. Our primary objective is to generate practical and implementable examples that can drive the industry forward in the adoption of guardrails, which will create less work for software developers over time. Instead of mere discussion, we aim to produce actionable insights that can be applied in real-world scenarios, and we will distribute a white paper after with the combined results.

Description of white paper talk: 1 hour and 45 minute discussion by the group centered around collaborating to produce a documented summary/solution to a topic/challenge posed by the host(s).  This session will require at least one host to facilitate the conversation, and at least one host to take notes and ask clarifying questions.  After the session, the hosts will be expected to produce a document that summarizes the conversation which will then be shared with participants who may optionally provide their email.

In this engaging session, we will explore the root causes of the disconnect between development and security teams in addressing Application Security (AppSec) findings. Participants will share their experiences, brainstorm ideas, and collaborate on practical solutions to bridge this gap. By understanding the underlying reasons behind the lack of cooperation, we aim to foster a more integrated and effective approach to AppSec. Join us to break the silence, share insights, and develop strategies that enhance collaboration and improve the resolution of security issues in your organization.

Birds of a Feather Format: 1 hour and 45 minute open discussion for the entire room on a specific topic, facilitated by the host(s).  The room will be set up as a large round table (20-24 people) to maximize visibility of all participants
