Scouting report
Started the Open Web Application Security Project in September 2001 as a mailing list and a few documents, and it became the vendor-neutral body that produced the Top Ten, the ASVS, ZAP and the testing guides that appsec teams still work from. Later founded SourceClear on software composition analysis and has kept publicly pushing OWASP to stay relevant to modern supply-chain risk.
Curator’s note
Built the commons the whole application security industry now cites.
