Global OWASP AppSec EU 2018

The OWASP Global Application Security Conference took place this week in the heart of London. see: OWASP AppSecEU 2018

The QEII conference centre, just across the Westminster Abbey was packed with brilliant minds from all over the world, dedicated in advancing security across all technologies. 

The premier application security conference for European developers and security experts. AppSec EU provides attendees with insight into leading speakers for application security and cyber security, training sessions on various applications, networking, connections and exposure to the best practices in cybersecurity.

As an OWASP London Chapter leader, (@OWASPLondon) it was an honor to be part of the team that delivered this amazing 1 week event. 

The OWASP foundation staff and board did an amazing job and we all enjoyed working together. We reached out to all OWASP chapters across the globe and we are dedicating ourselves in amazing things to come. 

On Friday morning I had a kinda different role than usual, moderating the CISO track at the Abbey room. 

It was really amazing having most of the volunteers, speakers, staff, chapter leaders and the board on-stage during the closing remarks. 

On behalf of myself, Sherif Mansour and Sam Stepanyan, ‘Thank You’ all for supporting #OWASP and making this event such a success. #AppSecEU
