My public security talks

This year has been good for me so far for public talking. I have been lucky enough to be invited to speak at the Irish Web Technology Conference (IWTC 2008) and an OWASP Ireland Chapter Meeting.

I had a lot of fun doing these talks, IWTC was based in the Cineworld cinema in Dublin. It was a very strange feeling to actually be presenting my work on the big cinema screen where only weeks earlier I was watching Shrek!

The IWTC talk was focused on a high level discussion of the current threats application developers need to protect against in 2008. I also discussed how to write code to protect against these threats. I finished off the talk with an explanation of the application security processes I have implemented at Realex Payments.

In April Eoin Keary (OWASP Ireland Chapter Lead) invited me to talk about Application Security and the PCI DSS. The talk focused on how PCI DSS would affect an application developer along with an overall opinion on PCI DSS and how it applies to application security. I presented this talk at Ernst and Young in Dublin.
