The UMN OWASP Chapter is the University's student-led hub for application security education, ethical hacking, and secure development practices. We are a licensed local chapter of OWASP, a global nonprofit foundation & industry community dedicated to defining best practices and improving security through education.
Our Mission:
To empower University of Minnesota students with the knowledge, tools, and community needed to build and break software securely.
