Projects for Good

We are a community of developers, technologists and evangelists improving the security of software. The OWASP Foundation gives aspiring open source projects a platform to improve the security of software with:

Visibility: Our website gets more than six million visitors a year

Credibility: OWASP is well known in the AppSec community

Resources: Funding and Project Summits are available for qualifying Programs

Community: Our Conferences and Local Chapters connect Projects with users

OWASP Projects are a collection of related tasks that have a defined roadmap and team members. Our projects are open source and are built by our community of volunteers - people just like you! OWASP project leaders are responsible for defining the vision, roadmap, and tasks for the project. The project leader also promotes the project and builds the team. OWASP currently has ‘over ‘93’ active projects’, and new project applications are submitted every week.

Code, software, reference material, documentation, and community all working to secure the world's software.

Projects gives members an opportunity to freely test theories and ideas with the professional advice and support of the OWASP community. Every project minimally has their own webpage, mailing list, and Slack Channel. Most projects maintain their content in our GitHub organization.

OWASP Project Inventory (194)

All OWASP tools, document, and code library projects are organized into the following categories:

Flagship Projects: The OWASP Flagship designation is given to projects that have demonstrated strategic value to OWASP and application security as a whole.

Lab Projects: OWASP Labs projects represent projects that have produced an OWASP reviewed deliverable of value.

Incubator Projects: OWASP Incubator projects represent the experimental playground where projects are still being fleshed out, ideas are still being proven, and development is still underway.
