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 last but not least, 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 over a long period of time, if I forgot someone, I apologize and please just drop me a message so I can add you to the list...)

As of January 2014, the priorities are:

• Announce and promote v1.0 at AppSec APAC, EU and US and CISO events
• Gain support and additional contributors
• Initiate the next version 2014 and secure to reach out to a larger audience
