OWASP chapters are local community groups that advance the OWASP mission of improving software security around the world. Here's an overview of OWASP chapters:
Chapters bring together local security professionals, developers, and enthusiasts through meetings, trainings, conferences, and outreach initiatives.
There are over 200 active chapters globally in cities and countries worldwide. Chapters function independently under the broader OWASP umbrella.
Chapters are led by local volunteers who organize activities, engage with members, and promote OWASP's values and resources in their region.
Typical chapter activities include hosting talks, trainings, social events, mentorships, community service projects, and local conferences. Content is focused on OWASP topics like secure development, appsec, web security, and more.
Chapters provide opportunities for networking, knowledge sharing, career growth, and community building around application security.
Chapters and their members have access to OWASP resources, brand assets, online systems, and more to support their functions.
New chapters can be formed through an application process sponsored by existing leaders and approved by the OWASP board.
In summary, OWASP chapters serve as the local face of the global OWASP community, creating grassroots activities tailored to their region's needs and members. They play a key role in fulfilling OWASP's mission worldwide.
