We’re Back at RSAC 2026 in March
Join the OWASP GenAI team at the RSAC 2026 Conference in San Francisco!
Safeguarding GenAI, Agents and Autonomous AI Risk in 2026
March 25th from 8:30am – 12:30pm
As generative AI evolves from prompt-based models to autonomous, agentic systems, the AI attack surface is expanding rapidly. Hosted by the OWASP GenAI Security Project, the OWASP AI Security Summit 2026 brings together practitioners and CISOs to share community-driven research, best practices, and real-world insights on securing LLMs, GenAI, and AI-assisted development, covering Top 10 risks, incident response, and governance for secure AI adoption. Meet and discuss with project and initiative leaders.

New Resources
A Practical Guide for Secure MCP Server Development explains how to secure Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, which connect AI assistants to external tools, APIs, and data while operating with delegated user permissions. Because MCP servers enable dynamic tool use and chained actions, a single vulnerability can have broader consequences than in traditional APIs. The guide provides best practices for secure architecture, authentication, validation, session isolation, and deployment so organizations can safely support powerful, tool-integrated AI systems. |
Vendor Evaluation Criteria for AI Red Teaming Providers & Tooling helps organizations assess vendors that offer AI red teaming services or automated testing tools. It outlines clear criteria for evaluating both basic and advanced AI systems, emphasizing realistic threat models, rigorous testing methods, and strong governance to distinguish meaningful security evaluations from superficial ones. The guide enables organizations to confidently select vendors that genuinely reduce real-world AI security risks. |

Take the Survey - It’s time to revisit the Top 10 list for LLMs for 2026.
\
In 2023 a small group of us asked a simple question: What actually goes wrong when you put large language models into real software?
At the time, there was plenty of excitement but not much structure. The OWASP Top 10 for Large Language Model Applications was our attempt to bring clarity to that moment. It gave practitioners a shared vocabulary and gave builders something concrete to defend against. Since then, the ecosystem hasn’t exactly stood still.
And now…
It’s time to revisit the core LLM Top 10 for 2026.
