OWASP, the Open Worldwide Application Security Project (formerly Open Web Application Security Project), is an online community that publishes open-source information and resources on IoT, system software and web application security. It is led by a non-profit called The OWASP Foundation.
==History== Mark Curphey started OWASP on September 9, 2001. Jeff Williams served as the volunteer Chair of OWASP from late 2003 until September 2011. , Matt Konda chaired the Board. The OWASP Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization in the US established in 2004, supports the OWASP infrastructure and projects. Since 2011, OWASP is also registered as a non-profit organization in Belgium under the name of OWASP Europe VZW. In February 2023, it was reported by Bil Corry, a OWASP Foundation Global Board of Directors officer, on Twitter that the board had voted for renaming from the Open Web Application Security Project to its current name, replacing Web with Worldwide. In May 2023, the OWASP Gen AI Security Project was started to expand the scope of the OWASP Top 10 List to document the most critical risks associated with LLMs.
