Welcome to the OWASP Education Project
Web Application Security Education and Awareness is needed throughout the entire organization, each area and level of organizations have specific needs and requirements regarding education. A manager needs other information than a security professional or developer. Novices to the profession require other training than people with several years of experience. This Education project aims to provide in building blocks of web application security information. These modules can be combined together in education tracks targeting different audiences. The first list of modules can be found here.

Project Guiding Principles

The building blocks provided by this project can then be bundled together in eduction tracks. An important guideline is therefore that the material produced is modular.
