Welcome to Yale's Application Security (AppSec) Program!

Yale's Application Security Program

The AppSec Program aims to promote secure software engineering practices at Yale. The program focuses on web applications run by Yale ITS and University constituents.

We're excited to share that the AppSec Program is now underway! Our goal is to immediately improve the security of web applications for Yale. This security must balance the technical flexibility Yale requires to support its mission. To ensure this balance, we leverage the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP). OWASP represents a broad consensus about critical security risks to web applications. We will use OWASP to strategize Yale's steps toward more secure coding.
