The OWASP Developer Guide is an open, community-maintained documentation project introducing application security concepts and practices for software developers. It serves as a cross-reference to OWASP projects like the Top 10 Proactive Controls, Cheat Sheet Series, and SAMM, published as a web document at devguide.owasp.org.
Use cases
- learn secure coding practices as a web developer
- find authoritative guidance on preventing XSS and SQL injection
- introduce my team to application security fundamentals
- reference OWASP Top 10 Proactive Controls during code review
- get started with OWASP tools and cheat sheets
- build security into the software development lifecycle
When to choose
- you need a free, community-vetted introduction to application security
- you want a developer-centric entry point into the OWASP ecosystem
- you need a reference to link from security policies or training materials
When to avoid
- you need deep, exhaustive coverage of a specific security topic rather than links and overviews
- you need a tool or library rather than documentation
- you need compliance-specific or vendor-specific security guidance
