Open Security Summit 2020 hosts 10 days of Training Sessions

In 2020, before the main Summit event that occurs from the 15th until the 19th of June, the Open Security Summit CIC is hosting 10 days of training sessions from June 1st until June 12th.

This event is currently taking place 100% virtually, with more than 560 participants from more than 50 countries actively learning new skills and sharing their knowledge.

In order to maximise participation, all training sessions at the Summit can be attended for free by: students, professionals working for charities, OWASP leaders; and by members of the LLHS (Ladies of London Hacking Society) and OWASP. Weekly tickets cost £50 and help to cover the operational expenses of running a virtual Summit.

The Pre-summit training sessions are focused on the collaboration between information security professionals, business executives, students, devops engineers, risk professionals and software engineers.

Open Security Summits are dynamic experiences during which attendees get a chance to work and collaborate intensively. All materials created during these sessions are released under an Open Source or Creative Commons licence

The training sessions cover a wide range of important and interesting topics such as: Threat modeling, Wardley Maps, DevSecOps, Security Standards, CISO and Risk Management, Social Engineering, COVID apps and many others.

The sessions are delivered by regarded professionals with real-world experience and knowledge. These are great opportunities for attendees to enrich their knowledge, learn new skills with hands-on practical sessions, enabling them to apply the knowledge and information in their area of expertise creating impactful changes. They also create a unique chance of networking with leading figures from security companies, development, government agencies and other representatives of their fields.

​Words from one of the organisers, Dinis Cruz, CISO and SVP Engineering, Glasswall: "The Summit is all about collaboration and sharing. This year we introduced the concept of training sessions which occur in the two weeks before the main Summit event. These training sessions are delivered by real-work practitioners that are generously sharing their knowledge for a worldwide audience of information security professionals and students"
