What is OWASP Top 10?

“

- [Instructor] Securing web applications or designing web applications with security in mind can get, well, overwhelming very quickly. This is because of the sheer number of vulnerabilities we have to watch out for, as well as the countless resources out there. This is where OWASP Top 10 comes in. OWASP Top 10 is a list of the top 10 most common web application vulnerabilities. It's created by the Open Web Application Security Project. And there's a great website I encourage you to check out at owasp.org/www-project-top-ten. Now, having this resource is wonderful because it gives us the ability to focus our energies and resources where it counts. Throughout this course, I'll be referring to vulnerabilities from this list. I encourage you to go to the website and read more about them. I also encourage you to periodically check in and see if anything changed, if there are new vulnerabilities to watch out for, in order to stay up to date with your application security. So without further ado, let's get to secure coding with Python.
