The Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) is a 501(c)(3) worldwide not-for-profit charitable organization focused on improving the security of software.

In the Application Security space, OWASP offers unbiased source of information on best practices as well as an active body advocating open standards. Operating as a community of like-minded professionals, OWASP issues software tools and knowledge-based documentation on application security.
