What we’re about
The Open Worldwide Application Security Project (OWASP®) is a 501(c)(3) worldwide not-for-profit charitable organization focused on improving the security of software. Our mission is to make software security visible so individuals and organizations can make informed decisions. OWASP is uniquely positioned to provide impartial, practical information about AppSec to individuals, corporations, universities, government agencies, and other organizations worldwide. Operating as a community of like-minded professionals, OWASP issues software tools and knowledge-based documentation on application security.
OWASP Philly works to embody this mission with our members and visitors by hosting bi-monthly technical speaker meetings, with off months hosting special events and working towards contributing to OWASP projects.
