The Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) is an online community that was established on September 9, 2001, by Mark Curphey, a cybersecurity expert, with the objective of mitigating cyber attacks.
OWASP has developed a list of the top 10 attacks, called OWASP Top 10, for multiple technologies such as Web Applications, Cloud, Mobile Security, etc., to aid the internet community in combating cyberattacks and vulnerabilities related to applications. Entities across the globe refer to the OWASP standards as a baseline to review and improve their security posture when it comes to applications across the web, mobile, thick client, and over the cloud as well.
