Description: OWASP, which stands for Open Web Application Security Project, is a non-profit organization dedicated to improving software security. Founded in 2001, OWASP has become a global reference in promoting secure development practices and raising awareness about security in web applications. Its mission is to provide accessible resources and tools to help organizations build, maintain, and operate secure applications. OWASP is characterized by its collaborative approach, where security professionals, developers, and companies can contribute to and benefit from a wide range of projects, documents, and guides. Among its most notable initiatives is the creation of the OWASP Top Ten list, which identifies the most critical vulnerabilities in web applications, serving as an essential guide for developers and security teams. Additionally, OWASP organizes conferences, workshops, and events worldwide, fostering education and knowledge sharing in the field of application security. The organization also promotes the creation of open-source tools that allow developers to assess and improve the security of their applications, making it a fundamental pillar in the fight against cyber threats in the realm of software development.
