Where does one even begin with Security for Software applications?
Answer is OWASP!
OWASP is an international non-profit organisation dedicated to software security. Their goal is simple, for anyone to improve their software security with widely available resources.
But OWASP itself is a very vast resource and community. So where does one even begin from in OWASP?
This is where OWASP Top 10 comes in!
OWASP Top 10 is a report on security concerns for Software security, focusing on the 10 most critical risks based on consensus for categories of Software.
These reports are regularly updated (generally every 3 years) which covers majority of the top vulnerabilities and exploits with up-to date industry trends, thus taking care of all the basics!
There are 3 lists for OWASP Top 10 categorised into different domains:
OWASP Top 10 (majorly for web)
OWASP API Top 10
OWASP Mobile Application Top 10
Which one of these OWASP Top 10 security guidelines has been the most challenging for you?
