Every vibrant technology marketplace needs an unbiased source of information. OWASP is synonymous with AppSec.

About us

The Open Worldwide Application Security Project (OWASP) is a worldwide free and open community focused on improving the security of software. Our mission is to make application security "visible," so that people and organizations can make informed decisions about application security risks. Everyone is free to participate in OWASP and all of our materials are available under a free and open software license. The OWASP Foundation is a 501c3 not-for-profit charitable organization that ensures the ongoing availability and support for our work.

    Had a fantastic conversation today with Rob van der Veer as part of our AI Vulnerability Webinar Series discussing the role of the OWASP AI Exchange in securing agentic AI systems. We’re entering a world where AI systems don’t just answer questions, they plan, decide, access tools, and execute actions. In many ways, we’ve given AI systems the keys to the building… before installing the locks. A few key insights from the discussion: 🔹 The biggest risk isn’t just prompt injection, it’s how agents interact with tools and the real world. 🔹 Cross-user indirect prompt injection is an emerging threat many organizations are still underestimating. 🔹 The biggest security win today? Blast radius control through least privilege, oversight, and transparency. 🔹 Security teams must be willing to “spoil the party” with risk analysis before innovation turns into incident response. What gives hope? Collaboration. Seeing organizations like SANS Institute and OWASP AI Exchange align on shared controls is exactly the kind of signal the industry needs. Because securing agentic AI isn’t a tooling problem. It’s a guidance, architecture, and community problem and the work is just getting started. #AIsecurity #AgenticAI #OWASP #OWASPAIExchange hashtag #AISecurity #CyberSecurity #LLMSecurity #AIgovernance #PromptInjection #AISafety #AppSec #SecurityCommunity

    A New Chapter for OWASP BLT: Our Website Revamp is Live! ✨ We are thrilled to announce that the new OWASP BLT site at https://owaspblt.org/ is officially live. This revamp isn't just about a fresh coat of paint; it’s a complete reimagining of how we interact with our community. The new interface is designed to be intuitive, making it easier than ever for researchers and contributors to navigate bug logs and engage with our security tools. While we look toward the future with this new UI, our roots remain deep in the open-source community. This project has been active for over a decade, including eight years of participation in Google Summer of Code (GSoC). This long history has allowed us to collaborate with brilliant students worldwide, helping us evolve from a large, complex codebase into the streamlined, mission-driven ecosystem we are today. A core part of this evolution is our move toward absolute security in responsible disclosure. Our involvement with OWASP led us to develop BLT Zero, a pioneering Zero Trust vulnerability reporting platform. By ensuring sensitive details are never stored on a central server, we’ve created a disclosure process that is inherently resistant to compromise—a standard that is now reflected in our new digital home. To support this growth, we are migrating key components of our architecture into independent repositories, making it simpler for new contributors to get involved. We invite you to explore the new site, Join our Slack, or submit a pull request. Together, we’re building a more secure and transparent internet for the next decade and beyond. 🚀 👉 View on Dev.to: https://lnkd.in/g4V5s53P

    OWASP LA Virtual Event Fulfilling Your LLM Deployment Dreams As organizations race to integrate Large Language Models into core business processes, they face a difficult trade off unlock major productivity gains or expose themselves to data leakage, shadow AI, and architectural risk. This month, Aaron Ansari joins OWASP LA to break down what secure, enterprise grade LLM deployment actually looks like. Aaron served 13 years as Co-Chapter Chair of OWASP Central Ohio and brings over two decades of application security experience from roles at BMW Group, Trend Micro, and more. He has taught programming and secure coding in Python for 18+ years at Franklin University and contributed to early JavaScript security projects alongside Kevin Wall. Talk Abstract: Fulfilling Your LLM Deployment Dreams This session moves beyond basic chat interfaces and into the technical foundations of a secure generative AI architecture. Key topics include: • The Risk Landscape Prompt injection (OWASP LLM01), insecure output handling, training data poisoning, and emerging LLM threats. • Architectural Defenses Using Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) to preserve accuracy while avoiding the risks of fine-tuning on sensitive PII. • Data Governance Implementing fine-grained access control and role based accounting within vector databases. • Operational Security A layered security model, from hyperparameter tuning to rate limiting and semantic caching. You will leave with a practical framework for deploying AI systems that are innovative, compliant, and resilient. If you are working with LLMs, evaluating generative AI internally, or responsible for AI governance and security, this session is directly relevant.
