New Zealand

Welcome to the OWASP New Zealand Local Chapter
Welcome to the OWASP New Zealand chapter site.

Participation
Get involved! All OWASP chapter meetings are free and open to anyone interested in application security and New Zealand is no different. We encourage members to give presentations on any OWASP related topic and to share their knowledge with the rest of the OWASP NZ chapter. Please also subscribe to the OWASP NZ Mailing-list to receive future event announcements or access previous posts.

Upcoming Event
New Zealand chapter meetings are unique and utilise the video or audio conferencing facilities available between Auckland & Wellington provided by one of our co-sponsors. As a result meetings take place in two cities at the same time.

Due to out of hours security restrictions, you may have to be escorted inside the buildings where the meetings are held. If there is no one at the door on your arrival, please be patient or call one of the appropriate onsite contact numbers below.
