OWASP Top 10 Overview

Come along to our next OWASP Wellington Meetup, all about the OWASP Top 10! Arrive from 5:30pm and we'll start around 5:45pm.

Important! A mask must be worn at all times, and for that reason this event will not have pizza & drinks like we usually do. Feel free to bring your own small snack and drink bottle, or even organize a dinner afterwards with friends. We hope that this creates an environment of safety where more people feel able to attend.

Survey! Please also consider doing this short survey which will help us plan better meetups in the future: https://forms.gle/B3LXdXqYYACv7sY28

---The Talk---

The OWASP Top 10 is the flagship project for the OWASP Foundation, and the first thing people think of when you mention “OWASP”.

The OWASP Top 10 is a standard awareness document for developers and web application security. It represents a broad consensus about the most critical security risks to web applications.

In this meeting we’ll discuss each of the security risks in the top ten, and how things have changed for the 2021 version.
