A Hands-On Introduction to Interactive Application Security Testing (IAST) and Runtime Application Self Protection (RASP)

Houston Java Users Group

In this workshop, participants will receive a brief introduction to IAST/RASP and the Contrast Security platform, and then conduct a hands on laboratory using Contrast and Webgoat that will walk through a few basic use cases.
 
Prerequisites: Windows, Linux, or Mac workstation with JDK 1.8 installed, at least 10 gig free disk space, and at least 4 gig available RAM. Note that you'll be installing and running Webgoat, which is a deliberately insecure web application, so feel free to install it on a VM
 If you’d like to get a leg up on the lab we’ll be doing, please feel free to clone this github repository:
