OWASP Security Ninja

The world of application security has a gaping hole when it comes to interesting and engaging security learning. Builders, breakers, and defenders lack a solid foundation of application security knowledge and an appreciation for the evolving threat landscape. These same folks also lack experience with secure development practices and tools. Finally, they lack the motivation to volunteer to improve application security.

Enter the OWASP Security Ninja program, a content and action based application security learning adventure. The project recognizes the learning and activity achievements of OWASP application security practitioners using a system of security belts. The OWASP security belts are white, yellow, green, brown, and black. Similar to belts in the world of martial arts, a student in our "virtual dojo" begins their journey reviewing video learning modules and taking an assessment per module. When the learner achieves passing status on all the white belt modules, they earn the OWASP Security White Belt and are eligible to continue to Yellow Belt.

Mission

OWASP Security Ninja educates, empowers, reaches, and recognizes builders and breakers in web application security.

  • Educates — providing the content to expand the application security knowledge of both the OWASP faithful and academia / industry
  • Empowers — opens doors and minds to new facets of application security
  • Reaches — connects with those who have had no historical appreciation or understanding of security
  • Recognizes — provides recognition for those that expand their minds and put forth effort to improve application security
