Meetup: Thursday 2 Oktober, 6:00 PM (one hour earlier than usual) Where: NatColl office, NatColl buidling Cnr KRoad & Symonds St, 5th floor Auckland 021 5678 53 *** Topics *** CodeScan PHP Source Code Vulnerability Scanner Speaker: Peter Benson, Codescan Ltd Time: ca. 6:20pm About Codescan from a recent press release: CodeScan Limited, has released CodeScan version 1.5 for PHP (Automated On-Demand Web Source Code Analysis) onto the world stage, and will shortly be releasing for global sales. CodeScan Labs is a world leader in on-demand security audits of Web Application Source Code. (www.codescan.com) Until recently, web application security has traditionally been evaluated through "penetration testing" of the application from the Internet. While this has a large number of benefits, the full application security is not really tested at the point where the security should be implemented, in other words, at the Source Code level. "Security at the Source" addresses this, and the release of CodeScan Developer PHP complements the CodeScan Developer ASP product, which is in full production. CodeScan will not only be used by developers as part of the software development lifecycle but by businesses as an assurance tool, allowing companies and consultants to test for security weaknesses in source code already in production with high levels of accuracy and performance. It provides audit trails that record when the security audit was performed; what vulnerabilities were uncovered; and how an organisation should fix them. It also provides methods for "healing" the vulnerable source code. CMSMadeSimple Speaker: Rory Fogerty, Integrators Ltd Time: ca. 7:50pm Rory is going to give an introduction to CMSMadeSimple,including - overview of architecture and technical aspects - recent development - main features - overview of available add-ons (modules) - installation wizard, and upgrading - templating and extensions - examples The session will wrap up with a session of questions.
