The Open Worldwide Application Security Project (OWASP) is a global, nonprofit organization and online community dedicated to improving software security by providing freely available resources, tools, and best practices for developers and organizations. Founded in 2001, OWASP is best known for its flagship OWASP Top 10, a regularly updated list that highlights the most critical web application security risks and serves as a benchmark for industry standards and compliance. Through its community-driven approach, OWASP operates hundreds of chapters worldwide, hosts conferences and training events, and offers open-source projects such as the Zed Attack Proxy (ZAP) to help identify and mitigate vulnerabilities. Its vendor-neutral stance and commitment to open access make OWASP a trusted authority in cybersecurity, empowering professionals and organizations to build, maintain, and operate secure applications in an increasingly complex digital landscape.
