This will be an in-person event held in the heart of the Washington DC, as well as OWASP’s largest US Conference, an opportunity you definitely will not want to miss out on.
This is your chance to connect, learn, and grow with some of the brightest minds in the field. Be inspired by our keynote speakers and dive deep into six expertly curated tracks—including builder/developer, breaker, defender, manager-culture, and OWASP Projects.

New Resources
The OWASP GenAI Security Project’s Threat Defense COMPASS consolidates AI threats, vulnerabilities, defenses, and mitigations1 into a Unified AI Threat Resilience Strategy Dashboard. Be sure to download the COMPASS RunBook and watch the COMPASS Training Video on how to use the compass: |
The Solutions Landscape monitors and maps the full LLM and Generative AI lifecycle, focusing on the DevOps–SecOps intersection to meet evolving security needs. |
The State of Agentic AI Security and Governance provides a comprehensive view of today’s landscape for securing and governing autonomous AI systems. It explores the frameworks, governance models, and global regulatory standards shaping responsible Agentic AI adoption. |
The OWASP GenAI Security Project commissioned this GenAI Incident Response guide to help fill this need by providing security practitioners with guidelines and best practices for how to respond to security incidents involving GenAI applications. |

Featured Resource: FinBot
FinBot is part of the OWASP GenAI Security Project’s Agentic Security Initiative, created to equip builders and defenders with hands-on tools for understanding and mitigating agentic AI risks.
FinBot is an Agentic Security Capture The Flag (CTF) interactive platform that simulates real-world vulnerabilities in agentic AI systems using a simulated Financial Services-focused application.
Currently focused on Goal Manipulation attacks, the CTF provides challenges and flags to help developers identify, exploit, and secure against these threats.
Designed as the “Juice Shop for Agentic AI,” FinBot will expand with more challenges, fostering a continuous feedback loop between researchers, security practitioners, and developers to harden agentic AI applications.
