Project Spotlight: OWASP Top 10

We are back again with yet another OWASP Spotlight series and this time we have a project which needs no introduction and I got the chance to interact with Andrew van der Stock, OWASP Foundation Executive Director and the project leader for OWASP Top 10.
The OWASP Top 10 is a book/referential document outlining the 10 most critical security concerns for web application security. The report is put together by a team of security experts from all over the world and the data comes from a number of organisations and is then analysed.

Update on the bylaws
The OWASP Foundation is currently in the process of updating the bylaws due to the existing bylaws not being valid. We have received a draft that we believe is ready to be approved, but we are still waiting upon the Board to hold an Executive Session on the status of fees and membership privileges.
Once we have clarity on the status of members’ fees and privileges, the process of ratification can begin.
