New Manifesto / Vision
“Enabling organizations to develop, maintain, and purchase applications that they can trust”
Consolidate all OWASP Projects in one strong vision
Focus OWASP efforts in one positive and focused target
Create a ‘package’ that companies will want to buy (i.e. join as members)
Build on past sucessess
3OWASP AppSec Europe 2006
OWASP is about a community who cares
Built on great foundations built by our contributors
Independent Focused on creating a better workd Great peer to peer participation Emphasis on local community building
4OWASP AppSec Europe 2006
Objectives
Organize OWASP’s world Deliver quality products, of highest
standard, usable by small and large companies
Professionalize OWASP delivery More support for projects (both local and
global) Maintain and Improve OWASP’s brand
Improve the quality of the web applications that we use everyday
5OWASP AppSec Europe 2006
Today
The current software / web development process is a messNo standards or MetricsLittle understanding of the threatsSmall number of attacks create ‘comfort zone’Strong business model to reward Features and
PerformanceWeak business model to reward securityServer based code creates false sense of
security due to very limited per-review ‘Shoot the messenger’ practices (UK’s Dan and
US’ xyz guy) make it even worse
6OWASP AppSec Europe 2006
Today II
Strong awareness that ‘something is wrong’ Weak awareness (and agreement) of ‘what
to do about it’Security Industry is part of the problem (Snake
Oil sellers and wild marketing claims)Too much money is being made today by
security vendors (with the current ‘insecure world’)
Market-Leaders are only marginally better than everybody else (or even less when adjusted for their market-share)
Clients don’t know what to ask for and how to commercially reward good vendors
7OWASP AppSec Europe 2006
Today III
Current Security Model is based on the:Lack of attackers (as in Quantity)Attacker’s skillsUnsophisticated Malicious business Model (i.e.
difficulty to monetize Digital Assets)Plenty of Low Hanging Fruit still available
(Phishing, Spam, sale of Boot Nets, Identity Theft)
Basically we are betting that the gradual security improvements that we are making everyday are bigger than the attacker's numbers, skills and business model
8OWASP AppSec Europe 2006
Today IV
What organizations need, is to be able to:develop, ormaintain, or purchase
applications that they can trust
We need Assurance that Applications will:do what they are designed forare securely codedcan be executed in secure ‘Sandboxed’
environmentswill not dramatically increase the risk to our
assets

OWASP’s new Vision
“Enabling organizations to develop, maintain, and purchase applications that they can trust” Idea launched in OWASP AppSec Europe (May
2006)New wiki-based www.owasp.org website launched
(May 2006) tons of new content (CLASP, old owasp.org website) much more to be added (Guide, etc..)
Next steps will be to convert all OWASP Projects into this new vision
Objective is to have all projects converted by next OWASP conference in the USA (Seattle-Oct 2006) Launch the ‘OWASP member pack’ which contains
everything that owasp has created to date (including special licenses for members)
