Facility Location: NOVA SOUTHEASTERN UNIVERSITY Carl DeSantis Building, Main Davie Campus Room 1124 3301 College Ave Fort Lauderdale, FL 33314-7796 Phone: 800-541-NOVA (6682) 6pm Abstract: Improving application security with ESAPI Swingset The primary aim of the OWASP Top 10 is to educate developers, designers, architects and organisations about the consequences of the most important web application security weaknesses. ESAPI is Enterprise security API's for remediation of OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities. The ESAPI libraries are designed to make it easier for programmers to retrofit security into existing applications. The ESAPI Swingset is a web application which demonstrates common security vulnerabilities and asks users to secure the application against these vulnerabilities using the ESAPI libraries. The application is intended for Java Developers. The goal of the application is to teach developers about the functionality of the ESAPI libraries and give users a practical understanding of how it can be used to protect web applications against common security vulnerabilities.

His tasks include performing risk analysis, assessing the security of web applications developed internally or purchased from third parties, define policies and standards on secure coding, as well as providing training on web application security to developers, auditors, executives and security professionals. Prior to joining AIB, he worked as a Security Engineer at Symantec Security Response European Headquarters analyzing malicious code, blended threats, security risks and vulnerabilities in various applications. Before moving to Ireland, he worked in the development of different training programs and activities with emphasis on secure software development in his native Argentina. <br As a member of the OWASP organization, Fabio is part of Global Education Committee whose mission is to provide training and educational services to businesses, governments and educational institutions on application security, he coordinates international conferences around this topic, and since early 2010 has been appointed chairman of OWASP Chapter in Ireland.
