OSWAP Defination
OWASP
The "Open Web Application Security Project" framework is a community-driven and frequently updated framework used solely to test the security of web applications and services.
The foundation regularly writes reports stating the top ten security vulnerabilities a web application may have, the testing approach, and remediation.
Advantages | Disadvantages |
Easy to pick up and understand. | It may not be clear what type of vulnerability a web application has (they can often overlap). |
Actively maintained and is frequently updated. | OWASP does not make suggestions to any specific software development life cycles. |
It covers all stages of an engagement: from testing to reporting and remediation. | The framework doesn't hold any accreditation such as CHECK. |
Specialises in web applications and services. | Intentionally left blank. |
