CapSec and OWASP DC

Tuesday, July 28th, 2009

CapSec’s “Not at Black Hat” Edition is tomorrow night at Stetsons’s. You can come down and pretend you’re at the reception — the drinks are more expensive but the food is cheaper (if you consider the cost to get in the door).

Next Wednesday, OWASP DC will be having  chapter meeting at GWU. Dan Cornell of the Denim Group will be speaking on Vulnerability Management in an Application Security World, and Mike Smith of Deloitte will be speaking on SCAP and integration with Web Application Security. I’ll also be giving an update on the upcoming AppSec DC 2009, which is only a few months away now!

Not At Black Hat? — CapSec DC

Wednesday, July 22nd, 2009

It appears that along with the Refreshes, Bar Camps, Meetups and Tweetups, a new craze is sweeping the nation.

Convention attendance is down in light of the recession, and so many security practitioners who would normally be making the trip to Vegas this year to enjoy the wonders of Black Hat and DefCon are not.

So, join us and them (in the DC Metro Area at least) at DC’s “Not at Black Hat/Not in Vegas” meetup, aka CapSec! Yes, we could have done something on the weekend, but with all that time free that you would have spent watching weirdos and tourists in Vegas, I’m sure you’ve already planned something else.

It appears that someone in Atlanta already beat me to doing a blog post about this although we had a save the date one on the CapSec blog last week. @rybolov mentioned it first for DC on twitter, he should get props too.
