About OWASP

The Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) is an open community dedicated to enabling organizations to develop, purchase, and maintain

applications that can be trusted. All of the OWASP tools, documents, forums, and chapters are free and open to anyone interested in

improving application security. We advocate approaching application security as a people, process, and technology problem because the most

effective approaches to application security include improvements in all of these areas. We can be found at www.owasp.org.
