Abstract
The OWASP Top 10 is a standard awareness document for developers and web application security. It represents a broad consensus about the most critical security risks to web applications.
Organisations adopting this document should start the process of ensuring that their web applications minimize these risks. Using the OWASP Top 10 is an effective first step towards changing the software development culture within an organisation into one that produces more secure code.
