Introduction

Web applications leaders, software engineers, and researchers from all over the world gather at AppSec USA to drive visibility and evolution in the safety and security of the world’s software. This year we will offer 3 days of training Oct 8-10 prior to our 2 days of conference activities October 11&12 in San Jose, the heart of Silicon Valley.

This year AppSec USA will be allowing Trainers to apply to give half day trainings as well as 1, 2, or 3 day classes. Trainers are allowed to make multiple applications; one application per class.

We are also expanding our training audience and will be reaching out to developers interested in security as well as security professionals.

Theme: Security Through Enablement

Too often security conferences get caught up in looking for the newest vulnerability or hottest hack. This mindset means that as security professionals we have barely moved the needle when it comes to securing the world’s software. Training at AppSec USA is intended to enable participants to immediately improve security at their organizations. Training should be of a practical nature and hands on training is preferred.

Examples of classes include, but are not limited to:

Review Policies

The crux of security is the ability to think flexibly and creatively about multi-stakeholder problems. It is the goal of OWASP to accelerate the speed of change and enable serendipity by connecting the community. In our view, security can only be enhanced when practitioners approach problems with diverse critical thinking theories and practices.

To this end OWASP seeks to be an inclusive organization for practitioners from all cultural, gender, language, educational, ability, religious, and career backgrounds. OWASP actively encourages speakers, trainers, and leaders of all sexual orientations, ages, and ethnicity. Our formal efforts in this vein include blind evaluations of talk proposals for our Global AppSec Conferences and active recruiting of diverse invited speakers and trainers.

The program committee will review your submission based on a descriptive abstract and detailed outline of your class. Including additional classroom materials will be helpful in our evaluation. Please review your proposal thoroughly as accepted abstracts and bios will be published on our site as submitted.
