Focus Overview
OWASP recognizes the extraordinary contribution of our global community by engaging them to provide input in seven areas of strategic focus. Within each of these defined areas, there are opportunities to contribute and participate. As with everything in OWASP, these discussions and decisions are open to everyone.
Each volunteer team will focus on a key function or geographic region, such as OWASP projects, conferences, local chapters, membership and industry outreach. Local Chapters, Project Leaders, questions about hosting a conference or starting a chapter should contact the appropriate Focus Leader or Staff Member for assistance, guidance or to suggest best practice.
- Note that in a perfect world we would have your best regional representative from your country as a delegate.
Global Initiatives
Each Item listed has links to the related documents, focus group information, discussion pages, and voting opportunities if appropriate, along with decision dates.

- Lab Projects: OWASP Labs projects represent projects that have produced an OWASP reviewed deliverable of value.
- Flagship Projects: The OWASP Flagship designation is given to projects that have demonstrated superior maturity, established quality, and strategic value to OWASP and application security as a whole.
