OWASP Europe TOUR , is an event across the European region that promotes awareness about application security, so that people and organizations can make informed decisions about true application security risks.

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.

Background

OWASP (Open Web Application Security Project is a 501©(3) not-for-profit worldwide charitable organization focused on improving the security of application software. Their mission is to make application security visible,

so that people and organizations can make informed decisions about true application security risks. The Department of Computing & Technology at Anglia Ruskin University is enhancing its curricula and capabilities in information security following its successful BSc(Hons) Information Security and Forensic Computing course.

Establishing a joint professional networking group with OWASP concentrating on aspects of computing and application security is a key part of this enhancement.
