Beagle Security, a fast-growing cybersecurity startup specializing in automated web application and API security testing, has announced its status as a Silver Corporate Supporter of the Open Worldwide Application Security Project (OWASP).
It was acknowledged by OWASP through an official post on their LinkedIn page. The post expressed appreciation for Beagle Security’s contribution and enthusiasm for future collaboration.
Beagle Security is the first automated platform that uses AI to mimic the actions of a real hacker to understand how deep web applications and APIs can be penetrated. This strategic alignment highlights Beagle Security’s deep-rooted commitment to advancing secure software development practices and contributing to the global security community.
Founded with the mission of making security testing accessible and continuous for modern development teams, the platform trusted by over 1800 companies worldwide is now recognized among a selective list of organizations that actively back OWASP’s global efforts.
OWASP: A global standard in application security
OWASP is a globally recognized, nonprofit foundation that works to improve the security of software through community-led open-source projects, education, and conferences. It is best known for initiatives like the OWASP Top 10, a regularly updated report that ranks the most critical web application security risks.
In addition, OWASP leads dozens of key projects like the Web Security Testing Guide (WSTG), ASVS (Application Security Verification Standard), designed to standardize and simplify the practice of secure development and testing. With thousands of contributors and chapters across the world, OWASP serves as a neutral, vendor-independent authority on application security.
Empowering the OWASP ecosystem through expertise and support
The collaboration builds on CEO Rejah Rehim’s extensive contributions to the OWASP community, where he serves as a core maintainer of the OWASP Web Security Testing Guide (WSTG), a cornerstone project that defines security testing methodologies for web applications. He also holds the roles of OWASP Project Lead and Kerala Chapter Lead, demonstrating a profound dedication to both local and global security defence.
“Our vision has always been aligned with OWASP’s mission of improving the security of software. Becoming a corporate supporter of OWASP is not just a badge of honor but more of a responsibility we embrace wholeheartedly,” stated Rejah Rehim, CEO of Beagle Security.
Rehim has authored three acclaimed cybersecurity books, including the recently published “Offensive Security Using Python” which have become essential resources for security professionals and ethical hackers globally.
As a corporate supporter, Beagle Security joins the ranks of globally recognized organizations helping OWASP fund and sustain its open-source projects.
The Beagle Security platform itself has been recognized within OWASP’s list of vulnerability scanning tools, a testament to its effectiveness, compliance with community standards, and technical excellence. Beagle Security is also one among the API testing tools listed by OWASP.
The timing is particularly significant as organizations face mounting pressure to secure increasingly complex applications while maintaining rapid development cycles, precisely the challenge Beagle Security’s automated penetration testing platform was designed to address.
