OWASP Partners with InfoSecMap to Strengthen Global InfoSec Collaboration

We’re stronger together.

In a move that highlights the power of open collaboration, OWASP is proud to announce a new partnership with InfoSecMap — a community-focused project dedicated to making InfoSec events and resources more accessible, global, and inclusive.

At its core, OWASP is a community-driven force building free, open resources for anyone who cares about building safer software. InfoSecMap, meanwhile, has been quietly but impactfully connecting the dots across the global security ecosystem — mapping events from major conferences and CTFs to local meetups and community-driven resources — all without pay-to-play marketing.

This partnership is more than symbolic — it’s strategic.

Why It Matters

Together, OWASP and InfoSecMap are working to:

  • Expand access to global InfoSec events and educational resources
  • Amplify underrepresented voices and geographies in cybersecurity
  • Improve visibility and knowledge sharing across borders and disciplines

What This Means for You

Whether you’re a developer in Nairobi, a student in São Paulo, or a security researcher in Chicago, this collaboration gives you better visibility into the global InfoSec landscape — and helps you connect with communities, not just corporations.

You’ll get access to:

  • Real-time updates on InfoSec events around the world
  • Local and international OWASP chapter activities
  • Community-curated resources that reflect a broader, more inclusive view of our industry

This effort is rooted in the belief that open source should also mean open access — and we’re building the infrastructure to make that a reality.

🔗 Explore the new OWASP Hub on InfoSecMap to discover what’s happening in your region — and beyond.

Let’s build the future of cybersecurity together: one that’s open, transparent, and truly global.
