 FEATURED OWASP PROJECT OWASP OpenSAMM Project The Software Assurance Maturity Model (SAMM) is an open framework to help organizations formulate and implement a strategy for software security that is tailored to the specific risks facing the organization. SAMM was defined with flexibility in mind such that it can be utilized by small, medium, and large organizations using any style of development. Additionally, this model can be applied organization-wide, for a single line-of-business, or even for an individual project. For more information, please visit the OWASP OpenSAMM Project wiki page. NEW OWASP PROJECTS OWASP Wordpress Security Checklist Project While there are several good articles on how to secure a Wordpress installation, there is no project on this topic that people can discuss and contribute to that is a definitive and homogeneous checklist. This project aims to solve this need. For more information, please contact the project leader, Dan Vasile. OWASP Windows Binary Executable Files Security Checks Project The "Windows Binary Executable Files Security Checks" documentation project aims to provide a security check-list and the tools necessary to assess the security of Windows executable files. For more information, please contact the project leader Dan Vasile. OWASP Supporting Legacy Web Applications in the Current Environment Project Legacy web applications are a reality in life. Even now, there are several out there, some of them supporting sensitive business areas like banking, insurance, marketing, and idea generation. As these applications get outsourced for maintenance, security becomes a crucial aspect both from a perspective of outsourcing and the inherent vulnerabilities of the web app. I would like to highlight these challenges and bring forth the critical security points in legacy web apps. For more information, please contact the project leader Shruti Kulkarni. OWASP SeraphimDroid Project SeraphimDroid is an educational application for android devices that helps users learn about risks and threats coming from other android applications. SeraphimDroid scans your devices and teaches you about risks and threats coming from application permissions. For more information, please contact the project leader Nikola Milosevic.
