    OWASP wiki account to work on it. • No offline version. • As a user: No way to receive notification when content is updated. • No validation/review process on the content. • Rendering on the wiki was no easy to read. • No index allowing to identify the suitable cheat sheet when using other OWASP referential (ASVS/Proactive Controls/etc). • Guidance provided was no always directly actionable by a dev team. • Aging content. • ... 24
  22. The Cheat Sheet Series project V2 project launched in December

    2018 with the following 7 key points in mind: 1. Move the entire project content to Github. 2. Open contribution to the world and only require a GitHub-free account. 3. Made contribution the easiest possible. 4. Add structure to the content as well as a validation process on it. 5. Made public every exchange and discussion on the project/content. 6. Tackle as much as possible the limitations of the V1. 7. Reach the Flagship graduation and maturity level. 25

  37. The Cheat Sheet Series project A cheat sheet has the

    following characteristic: 1. Explain the context in which the security issue occurs. 2. Explain the security issue itself. 3. Give recommendations on how to address/prevent/fix the security issue from a technology agnostic point of view. 4. Show a full documented example of implementation of the recommendation in technology. Let’s see an example with the error handling cheat sheet: https://cheatsheetseries.owasp.org/cheatsheets/Error_Handling_Cheat_Sheet.html 40
