============

A regularly updated list of the ten most critical web application security risks, published by the Open Web Application Security Project.

standardsweb securityOWASP

The OWASP Top 10 is the most widely recognized standard for web application security awareness. Published by the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP), it represents a broad consensus about the most critical security risks to web applications. The current list includes: Broken Access Control, Cryptographic Failures, Injection, Insecure Design, Security Misconfiguration, Vulnerable Components, Authentication Failures, Data Integrity Failures, Logging Failures, and Server-Side Request Forgery.

Many compliance frameworks reference the OWASP Top 10 as a baseline requirement for web application security. Organizations pursuing SOC 2, PCI DSS, or ISO 27001 certifications typically need to demonstrate testing against these categories.

How APVISO tests for this: APVISO's AI agents test for all OWASP Top 10 categories and beyond, using reasoning capabilities to identify complex vulnerability chains that traditional scanners miss. The pentester agent maintains awareness of all ten categories throughout each assessment.
