Winner of Women in Appsec

aseu2014-admin — Wed, 18 Jun 2014 21:37:04 +0000

Katharine Brylski is currently a master student in Computer Science at the University of Paderborn (Germany). She graduated with a bachelor degree in computer science at the University of Paderborn in cooperation with Siemens, where she got first practical experiences in programming web applications. While studying at the University of Paderborn she got in touch with application and information security. Being highly interested in the field of IT security she decided to use her bachelor thesis to deepen her knowledge in this area. Within this work, she analyzed the security of a web application of her university by using a systematically developed penetration testing concept for detecting vulnerabilities which she created on her own. Her analysis focused on the 10 most critical security risks for web applications (according to the “OWASP Top 10″) and on the evaluation of the identified weaknesses. Furthermore Mrs. Brylski is working as a student assistant in the field of IT security at Wincor Nixdorf since 2012. She is not only responsible for the vulnerability scanning of server and client environment but also for the risk assessment as well as for providing solutions for the removal of those vulnerabilities.

Dr Richard Stallman – Freedom Issues for Web Sites

aseu2014-admin — Thu, 12 Jun 2014 18:55:17 +0000

As part of OWASP AppSec Europe 2014 Conference, being hosted at Anglia Ruskin University, East Road, Cambridge, we are arranging a special community based lecture by Dr Richard Stallman , President of the Free Software Foundation, who will be talking about

Freedom Issues for Web Sites

Web sites continually raise several issues of concern that affect individual users’ freedom. As part of their design, such web sites often make users run non free software (perhaps in JavaScript) whilst others collect data about people or help both commercial and clandestine entities to do so. Some websites may help do the user’s own computing and thus deny users control over it. Dr Richard Stallman will speak about these problems and how to avoid them.

Conference Schedule is Live!
