First-Ever ZAPcon Celebrates World's Most Widely Used Application Security ScannerDENVER, Feb. 25, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- ZAPCon, the first-ever user conference for the open source application security testing tool OWASP ZAP, is set to take place March 9, 2021. Over 1,000 attendees are slated to join the virtual event to see how others in the community are leveraging ZAP and to learn about the project's roadmap. Event highlights will include:
ZAP is the most widely used web app scanner in the world. Every month the secrity testing tool sees over 2,000,000 Docker pulls and 50,000 direct downloads. The tool has raving fans all over the world, but ZAPCon will be the first time users get the chance to connect on a global scale. "Having ZAP be an open source tool allows for collaboration and learning between users and contributors," said Bennetts, "ZAPCon allows us to take this one step further and support the growing ZAP community. I am thrilled to be a part of bringing the users together for the first time." In July of 2021, Bennetts joined StackHawk – ZAPCon's presenting partner. StackHawk is an application security testing startup that has built its platform on top of ZAP. The company is building enhanced automation and integration capabilities to make the open source scanner easier to implement in CI/CD. "At StackHawk, we are always looking for new opportunities to contribute back to ZAP" said StackHawk Co-Founder and CEO, Joni Klippert, "Bringing the inaugural ZAPCon to life allows us to celebrate our collaboration in an entirely new way. It is inspiring to learn from ZAP users and further our contributions to the community."
