OWASP Santa Barbara

Welcome

Welcome to the OWASP Santa Barbara chapter! We’re excited to have a dedicated group of application security professionals and enthusiasts, and we’d love to have you join us. All meetings are free, oriented towards knowledge sharing, practical learning, and having lots of fun!

The current leaders are Walter Martín Villalba and Albert Chae, and we’re always looking for talented and motivated people to help with the group.

Steps to make the most of our community:

1. Subscribe to our mailing list (low volume). All important messages are posted to the list, and we often use it to announce 3rd party (non-OWASP) InfoSec events in the area as well.
2. Join our Meetup Group All OWASP SB events are announced and tracked there.
3. Join our Slack Channel. The channel is used to ask questions, seek advice, and engage in technical discussions, both during and after the events. If you don’t have an account, create one here (no need for an OWASP email address). Then login and join #chapter-santa-barbara.
4. Follow our brand new accounts on Twitter and LinkedIn, and like/share our posts to help spread the word!
