=HOW TO GET THERE=

TOKYO has two international airports, Tokyo International Airport (Haneda: HND) and Narita International Airport (NRT). Both airports are located away from the city center but Haneda is the closer of the two.

We advise against taking a taxi from the airport since it is farther and more expensive than you might expect. To avoid high costs take the train or bus to the nearest station to your hotel or destination and then take a taxi if needed. Please find out what the best way to reach your destination is before arriving. From Tokyo International Airport to Tokyo Station (HND: Haneda) From Narita International Airport to Tokyo Station (NRT: Narita) Taking the bus to Tokyo Station There are numerous buses going to Tokyo Station and various locations and some may take you very close to your hotel or other destination. Some buses go directly to major hotels. Please find out what your nearest station is and chose the appropriate bus from the list at the URL found above. Depending on where your hotel is, you may choose to continue on by train or take a taxi. Taxis in Tokyo: Taxis in Japan are extremely reliable and you generally do not have any problems. To avoid language issues, have the name and address of your hotel, or Sola City Conference Center and other destinations written (with a map if possible) and keep it handy at all times to show it to the driver. * Taxis can be found at taxi waiting areas or you can hail an empty cab (indicated by the red “空車” light in the front window). The JR Yamanote Line or any stations within the Yamanote Line circle are considered downtown Tokyo. The venue, Sola City Center, is close to Ochanomizu-Station on the JR Chuo-Line.
 * Train http://www.haneda-airport.jp/inter/en/access/train.html
 * Take either the Tokyo Monorail to Hamamatsucho Station (JPY 470, 23 min) or the Airport Limited Express to Keikyu Shinagawa Station (JPY 400, 22 min)
 * Train  http://www.narita-airport.jp/en/access/train/index.html

= HOTEL RESERVATIONS= Tokyo boasts a variety of accommodations from Ryoakans to full-service hotels and luxury inns. Rooms may go fast on the conference days, so book early for best availability! The conference venue, Sola City Conference Center, is located in Tokyo Central Region, Kanda/Akihabara/Ochanomizu area. The closest train station is Ochanomizu Station.

As the conference venue is not a hotel, you must reserve your accommodation. The venue is really close to JR Ochanomizu Station, and Tokyo Metro Shin-Ochanomizu station which is at the heart of downtown Tokyo. Because of the central location, you can reach the venue relatively easily from any area in downtown Tokyo like Akihabara, Kanda and Nihonbashi, so feel free to book your hotel using any web site you like.

Monday and Tuesday, March 17th - 18th
Dave Wichers ROOM A 10am-5pm Mobile applications enable new threats and attacks which introduce significant risks to the enterprise, and many custom applications contain significant vulnerabilities that are unknown to the team that developed them. ''Considering the number of mobile applications available in the Google Play and Apple AppStore is nearing 1.5 million and vulnerabilities are skyrocketing it is imperative to perform typical application security practices. But, how is mobile different?'' ''This two-day, hands-on course enables students to understand how easily mobile devices and applications can be successfully attacked. They will learn how to identify, avoid and remediate common vulnerabilities by walking through a threat analysis and learning critical security areas such as those identified in the OWASP Top Ten Mobile Risks and Controls. Using state-of-the-art testing tools, students will learn how to secure mobile devices across the enterprise. Students will be able to choose from iOS or Android hands-on labs throughout the course, while they learn how easily the bad guy can compromise applications and the data they contain.''
