Cyber Journey presents OWASP Italy Day 2025: The Benchmark for Software
Security.
Why is cybersecurity so important?
Few fields have grown as rapidly as cybersecurity, evolving from a niche topic to a global concern at the forefront of businesses, institutions, and media discussions.
Are all cyberattacks really that sophisticated?
When it comes to cyberattacks, the word most often used is “sophisticated.” But is that always the case? Or are there tools and methodologies that can effectively prevent and mitigate them?
During OWASP Italy Day, we will explore both offensive and defensive cybersecurity techniques with experts who tackle these challenges daily.
The OWASP Foundation, through its global community, develops projects, best practices, and solutions to enhance application security worldwide.
Cyber Journey presents OWASP Italy Day
Cyber Journey 2025 is the perfect opportunity to explore the latest cybersecurity challenges, understand emerging trends, and dive into the technological and regulatory strategies needed to protect digital assets.
Once again this year, OWASP Italy Day will put the spotlight on software security, a crucial topic in a digital world where applications are the backbone of both professional and personal activities.
