One popular option is to utilize the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP), a non-profit, global and crowdsourced organization that is not affiliated with any technology company that was founded in 2001 and now maintains 100 local chapters with thousands of members. Its leadership is completely voluntary and makes decisions about technical direction, project priorities, schedule, and releases. OWASP also collects corporate and individual membership subscriptions and conference fees, to award grants each year to promising AppSec research projects.
As such OWASP is in a unique position to provide impartial, practical information about web application security to individuals, corporations, universities, government agencies and other organizations worldwide. Operating as a community of like-minded professionals, OWASP issues software tools and knowledge-based documentation on application security. All of its articles, methodologies and technologies are made available free of charge to the public.
Amongst its widely available projects is the OWASP Top 10 project, a powerful awareness document for web application security. It represents a broad consensus about the most critical security risks to web applications. Project members include a variety of security experts from around the world, all of whom shared their expertise to produce this list which is used globally as a guideline for both developing secure applications and testing application security on a continual basis.
