Vermont Business Magazine In an era of rising cyberattacks impacting the websites of local businesses and individuals, Vermonters have a unique opportunity to understand how digital threats exploit weaknesses in web apps–ethically and safely–at a live demonstration hosted by Allegory Cyber LLC in Burlington.
On May 30th, 2025 at 3:30 PM, a small group will gather at Hula in Burlington to witness a live, in-person demonstration of ethical web application penetration testing. This is the crucial process cybersecurity professionals use to identify and fix security flaws before malicious actors can exploit them.
Led by Jeremiah Onaolapo, Cyber Training Consultant, the session titled “Break It to Fix It: Poking Holes in a Web App” will provide a practical look at how vulnerabilities are discovered in web apps, and what common tools, such as the industry-standard Burp Suite, are used in a completely secure, isolated environment.
“We’re not just talking about cybersecurity–we’re showing it, step by step,” said Jeremiah Onaolapo. “For Vermont’s web developers, recent computer science grads, and tech-curious professionals, seeing how attackers think is a powerful way to start thinking like a defender. This hands-on demonstration offers actionable insights that reading articles simply can’t replicate.”
This event is particularly valuable for developers focused on building secure applications, IT professionals seeking practical skills, and recent grads seeking to upskill into cybersecurity. Attendees will gain a clearer understanding of common attack vectors and preventative measures.
The limited-space session will include:
* A live walkthrough demonstrating ethical web app testing techniques.
* Demonstrations using professional tools like Burp Suite in a controlled environment.
* An interactive Q&A session allowing participants to ask specific questions.
Space is strictly limited to just 20 seats to ensure an engaging and interactive experience. Early registration is strongly encouraged.
