OWASP CISO Survey and Report
Among application security stakeholders, Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs),are responsible for application security from governance, compliance and risk perspectives. The OWASP CISO Survey provides tactical intelligence about security risks and best practices to help CISOs manage application security programs according to their own roles, responsibilities, perspectives and needs.

Volunteers
The Application Security Guide For CISOs Project was authored, edited and reviewed by a worldwide team of volunteers. The primary contributors to date have been:


 * Tobias Gondrom
 * Marco Morana
 * Stephanie Tan
 * Colin Watson

And many more helping hands from OWASP chapters around the world and the former Global Industry Committee, providing input, designing questions, translating and sending out the survey questions around the globe. Thank you all! We couldn't have done it without you!

So a big thank you to all of you (in alphabetical order):

Balint Szabo, Eoin Keary, Israel Bryski, Ivy Zhang, Jasmine Beg, Kate Hartman, Lorna Alamri, Mauro Flores, Rex Booth, Timur kHrotko. And the many CISOs who took the time to fill out the Survey and offer their input and advise.

(As this was a great team effort of many hands, if I forgot someone, I apologise and please just drop me a message...)
