General Session Topic: PHP Security

Speakers: Jon Canady, Web Application Developer, Innova Partners

Topic Summary: PHP is a widely used, general-purpose scripting language, originally designed to produce dynamic web pages. In 2007, The PHP Group reported it was utilized on over 20 million websites and 1 million web servers. In 2008, the National Vulnerability Database claimed PHP accounted for 35% of software vulnerabilities, with nearly all caused by poor programming practices. Every PHP developer, hoster, and security professional should understand the primary attack vectors being used by attackers against PHP applications. During this OWASP meeting we will be deep-diving into PHP security. Specifically, Mr. Canady will be covering the OWASP Top 10 in the context of PHP. The Columbus OWASP Chapter leadership would like to thank Innova Partners for both sponsoring and hosting this event.

RSVP: Please RSVP to owasp@hayesdf.com as soon as possible.
