What is the How to Get into AppSec Project?

Little is more frustrating than working towards a career that isn’t well defined. We hope to change that.

The goals of this project is to help create supportive guidance, and pathways into common AppSec roles. To do so, we must first understand what these common roles are.

History

This is an OWASP Education Committee Project, initially proposed by Didar. In 2021, we collected a survey of what the AppSec Landscape looks like. The survey closed at 31st May 2021 23:59 UTC.

We are currently processing the data.
