What we’re about

The OWASP Foundation works to improve the security of software through its community-led open source software projects, hundreds of chapters worldwide, tens of thousands of members, and by hosting local and global conferences.

As well as professionals, those who have an interest in cyber-security should join to learn, help spread awareness, and stay safe in our increasingly digital world.

We plan to hold meetings and meetups to talk through issues in cyber-security and learn from experts in the field.
