Aspect Security Provides “WebGoat” Version 3.7 to OWASP for Free to the Application Security Community
Enhancements to Safe Online Training Environment for Application Security
Columbia, MD - September 1, 2006
Aspect is pleased to announce a major upgrade to "WebGoat," the safe online training environment for application security. WebGoat is a full J2EE application that is built around lessons teaching about application vulnerabilities. Students can use WebGoat to experiment with the vulnerabilities and learn how to avoid them.
"Jeff Williams, founder and CEO of Aspect Security as well as Chairman of the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) Foundation said, “We're thrilled with the response we've seen to WebGoat. With over 7,500 downloads a month, WebGoat is clearly the most effective way for developers to learn application security.”
WebGoat 3.7 is available for download by the public at http://www.owasp.org/index.php/Category:OWASP_WebGoat_Project
