In general, there is no restriction on the subject of the talks, as long as the topic is related to Application Security (not necessarily Web). We will not accept any talks regarding other aspects of Security, that are not applicative in nature. Talks at any technical level can be accepted.We especially appreciate talks from security folk in large organizations (“security consumers”) who can share different Case Studies from the field.
