| 4 | +## Welcome to the OWASP API Security Top 10 - 2019! |
| 5 | + |
| 6 | +Welcome to the OWASP API Security Top 10 first edition. If you're familiar with |
| 7 | +the OWASP Top 10 series, you'll notice the similarities: they are intended for |
| 8 | +readability and adoption. Otherwise, consider visiting the [OWASP API Security |
| 9 | +Project wiki page][1], before digging deeper into the then most critical API |
| 10 | +security risks. |
| 11 | + |
| 12 | +APIs play a very important role in modern applications architecture. |
| 13 | +Because creating security awareness and innovation have different paces, it |
| 14 | +urges to focus on common API security weaknesses. |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | +The primary aim of the OWASP API Security Top 10 is to educate those involved |
| 17 | +in API development and maintenance being them developers, designers, architects, |
| 18 | +managers, or organizations. |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +In the [Methodology and Data][2] section you can read more about how this first |
| 21 | +edition was created. In future versions, we want to involve the security |
| 22 | +industry, with a public call for data. For now, we encourage everyone to |
| 23 | +contribute with questions, comments and ideas at our [GitHub repository][3] or |
| 24 | +[Mailing list][4]. |
