| 1 | +About OWASP |
| 2 | +=========== |
| 3 | + |
| 4 | +The Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) is an open community dedicated |
| 5 | +to enabling organizations to develop, purchase, and maintain applications and |
| 6 | +APIs that can be trusted. |
| 7 | + |

| 9 | + |
| 10 | +* Application security tools and standards. |
| 11 | +* Complete books on application security testing, secure code development, and |

| 21 | +Learn more at: [https://www.owasp.org][6]. |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +All OWASP tools, documents, videos, presentations, and chapters are free and |
| 24 | +open to anyone interested in improving application security. |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | +We advocate approaching application security as a people, process, and |
| 27 | +technology problem, because the most effective approaches to application |
| 28 | +security require improvements in these areas. |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | +OWASP is a new kind of organization. Our freedom from commercial pressures |
| 31 | +allows us to provide unbiased, practical, and cost-effective information about |
| 32 | +application security. |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +OWASP is not affiliated with any technology company, although we support the |
| 35 | +informed use of commercial security technology. OWASP produces many types of |
| 36 | +materials in a collaborative, transparent, and open way. |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | +The OWASP Foundation is the non-profit entity that ensures the project's |
| 39 | +long-term success. Almost everyone associated with OWASP is a volunteer, |
| 40 | +including the OWASP board, chapter leaders, project leaders, and project |
| 41 | +members. We support innovative security research with grants and infrastructure. |
| 42 | + |
