What is OWASP Top 10?

A regularly updated list of the ten most critical web application security risks, published by the Open Web Application Security Project.

The OWASP Top 10 is the industry standard for web security awareness. The current list includes Broken Access Control, Cryptographic Failures, Injection, Insecure Design, Security Misconfiguration, Vulnerable Components, Authentication Failures, Data Integrity Failures, Logging Failures, and SSRF.

Organizations use it as a baseline for security testing and compliance. OWASP also provides testing guides, tools (ZAP), and cheat sheets for secure development practices.
