The OWASP Top 10 has become the defacto standard for web application security and is referenced by numerous important standards and guidelines around the world, including the Payment Card Industry (PCI) standard, as just one example.
This presentation will explain how the OWASP Top 10 for 2013 changed from the previous version and why. It will then briefly go through each item in the OWASP Top 10 for 2013, explaining the risks each issue introduces to an enterprise, how attackers can exploit them, and what your organization can do to eliminate or avoid such risks in your application portfolio.
