The Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) is a non-profit organization based in the United States that serves as a global community for individuals and organizations extensively involved in the field of web application security. Founded in 2001, OWASP aims to improve the security of web applications by providing resources, education, and best practices. OWASP's headquarters is located in Beaverton, Oregon, USA.

The organization operates internationally, with numerous chapters around the world. These chapters host local events and provide a platform for knowledge-sharing and networking within the cybersecurity community. The primary focus of OWASP is to promote secure coding practices and ensure that organizations are aware of the latest threats and vulnerabilities in web applications.

They offer a wide range of resources including documentation, tools, and training materials that help developers build more secure applications. The OWASP Top Ten Project, which identifies and ranks the most critical web application security risks, is one of their most well-known initiatives. In terms of market position, OWASP is regarded as a leading authority in web application security.

Their resources and guidelines are widely adopted by development teams and security professionals globally. OWASP works closely with industry leaders, government agencies, and academic institutions to develop collaborative partnerships and promote their mission. There have been no significant changes in OWASP's overall strategy or product lineup in recent years.

However, they continually update their resources to reflect emerging threats and new technologies, ensuring that developers have access to the most up-to-date information. As of the latest available information, OWASP remains committed to its mission of improving web application security. They continue to actively engage with the cybersecurity community and organize global conferences, training sessions, and other events.
