The OWASP Top 10 is a data-driven, regularly updated list of the most critical web application risks, built from real-world breaches rather than opinion. Its value is not in memorizing the categories, but in using it as a shared language to prioritize what to fix first and improve application security. #OWASP #OWASPTop10
