Where do we go from here - OWASP releasing strategic goals for 2015!

by Tobias Gondrom, Chairman of the Board

Over the last years OWASP has grown and further followed our successful path improving Web and Application Security around the world. Today, our organization is in great shape and we are building up to what is promising to become a fantastic year 2015 for OWASP!
In the previous years we frequently set strategic goals to focus our global activities and to further our mission in specific and measurable ways. It is important to note that these goals are by no means a view to limit our community activity on only these goals. But rather the goals are to inspire new actions in addition to our already many ongoing great activities and to focus some of our efforts where we see great potential for OWASP and our mission to make application security more visible around the world.
This year we wanted to include more community feedback into these goals. In January, we sent out a survey to the OWASP Community asking for your thoughts on our strategic goals for 2015. And we received an amazing high turnout and feedback from over 1,100 people responding to our survey. Thank you all for that! Your feedback was extremely valuable and greatly appreciated! It guided our priorities in 2015 and beyond. And we also received a lot of messages from volunteers in the survey who want to join some of the activities on these goals. Don't worry we will get back to you on this, now.
Today we proudly release the following three strategic goals for 2015:

• Build a scalable OWASP training program that spreads security training around the world.
• Strengthen OWASP chapters and increase Chapter's abilities to spread the message of OWASP through locally organized and run events.
• Mature the OWASP Projects Platform: Provide the OWASP projects community a mature project platform to encourage senior developers to participate in the various and many OWASP projects.

For More details on these goals and some of the actions we plan to do to achieve them, please take a look at our WIKI PAGE
Over the recent months and years, we already see amazing new chapter activities, project work and a lot of people from the community joining as volunteers and leaders. We are an open community organisation, and every activity is driven by you, our thousands of volunteers, members and leaders around the world. So if you have an idea how to contribute to the goals above (or any other exciting OWASP activity), we like to hear from you. If you like to join one of our many activities, please let us know, join the community list (owasp-community@lists.owasp.org, free to join for everyone) and post your interest or idea there to find other interested people to join you, or write to our community manager Noreen Whysel.
We want you to get involved!
YOU are OWASP - OWASP needs YOU!
With that, I wish all of us an amazing and exciting time ahead.
Tobias Gondrom, Chairman of the Board

OWASP Projects

OWASP Dependency-Track 1.0.0 Released Dependency-Track is a webapp that allows organizations to document the use of third-party components across multiple applications and versions. Further, it provides automatic visibility into the use of components with known vulnerabilities. Dependency-Track compliments the wildly successful and highly useful Dependency-Check project by embedding its core engine and fulfilling additional use cases. It's another tool to combat the A9 problem. You can get more information about the project and the release HERE OWASP Vicnum Project Updated The OWASP Vicnum Project has been updated to include a vulnerable XXE VM at http://xxe.sourceforge.net/ This VM was used in recent CTF events including the Breaking Bad challenge event at AppSec USA 2013 in NYC. As with other vulnerable or broken apps, the basic goal of the project is to: Test web application scanners Test manual attack techniques Test source code analysis tools Look at the code that allows the vulnerabilities Test web application firewalls Have a little fun OWASP Dependency Check 1.2.9 released The OWASP Dependency-check team is pleased to announce the release of 1.2.9! This release contains general maintenance, upgrading dependent libraries, minor bug fixes, etc. Please visit the documentation site for information on obtaining the new version (CLI, Maven Plugin, Ant, Task, Jenkins Plugin) The changes of note are: The Maven plugin was reworked to correctly process child modules when creating an aggregate project. Included in the change were several other issues end users have contacted me about. Reduced false negatives with regard to some versions of Spring. Fixed issue #196 - Some JAR files do not contain POM files yet a full POM is available from Central (or alternatively Nexus). Both the Central and Nexus analyzers will now look for and retrieve the POM if one has not been found locally. A result of this change is that if both the Central and Nexus analyzer are disabled there is a chance of false negatives (i.e. the dependency could not be correctly identified as vulnerable). Fixed issue #185 - Maven aggregate reports now display the project name that references vulnerable dependency. We continue to get help from the github community! This release includes PRs from Ahmet Kiyak and Hans Joachim Desserud. Thanks for all your help! OWASP CISO Guide Translated into Spanish You can reference it HERE.
