Security Innovation to Deliver Expert Blockchain Training
Wilmington, MA – April 24, 2019 – Security Innovation, an authority in software security assessment and training, today announced Mick Ayzenberg, the company’s Blockchain Center of Excellence lead, will teach a 2-day course on May 27 & 26, 2109 at OWASP’s Global AppSec Conference in Tel Aviv, Israel.
As Blockchain platforms become more developed, companies are beginning to investigate how this emerging technology might improve their business. However, every new technology come with risks to consider with respect to construction and integration. This two-day course focuses on the methodologies when developing smart contracts for Blockchain enabled DApps (Decentralized Applications), with specific attention to Ethereum and Solidity. Leveraging a Smart Contract CTF (capture the flag) product built by Mr. Ayzenberg, attendees will learn and apply techniques to exploit the most common vulnerabilities in these technologies.
Mr. Ayzenberg has delivered Blockchain trainings and presentations at Appsec USA 2018, TruffleCon 2018, OWASP Training Day 2018, ISACA Phoenix 2019, and other industry events. He will also deliver Intro to Hacking Blockchain Applications & Smart Contracts at BlackHat 2019.
“A lot of projects are experimenting with Blockchain and smart contracts” said Mr. Ayzenberg. “There is very interesting research happening right now that could solve a lot of existing problems in terms of scalability, such as layer two solutions and zero knowledge proofs. Training those who design and implement these systems is paramount to ensuring our Blockchain future remains secure and protects privacy.”
