A SPECIAL THANK YOU
In 2022 you may have seen or participated in one or more of our four online Developer training sessions led by Mr. Jim Manico. Jim is the Founder, CEO, and Application Security Educator at Manicode Security. He has been an OWASP Volunteer since 2008 and a former OWASP Global Board Member. Last year, Jim went above and beyond to continue his selfless support for the OWASP Foundation. He graciously offered to provide four virtual online training sessions for OWASP, with all proceeds donated back to OWASP. The four trainings wrapped up with 167 students, generating over $90k in profit! Training sessions were rotated around the globe to accommodate all time zones, and although it was a virtual training, it was presented live. Students could chat with each other and Jim and ask questions in real-time. On behalf of the OWASP Foundation, thank you, Jim, for your continued support throughout the years, especially in 2022. Watch for more OWASP Virtual Training courses coming to you in 2023.

This is why OWASP is now offering the AI security & privacy guide - to provide clear and actionable insights on designing, creating, testing, and procuring secure and privacy-preserving AI systems. By open-sourcing our understanding of the state-of-the-art, we can create consensus and collect ideas from a variety of perspectives.

GSuite Account Cleanup

Andrew van der Stock, March 23, 2023

Today, we crossed 10,000 accounts in our GSuite instance. This is a great milestone, but it also means that we have no more seats to give to new members. We currently have 6600 financial members, so there are 3400 expired members today. We need to do a spring clean.

We will be deleting old accounts of long-expired members, initially those that are more than three years out of date. So if you’ve let your membership expire before March 2020, your data will be gone. This will affect 1400 accounts initially.
