OWASP's role in standardization

[Rob van der Veer]

Dear board,

As you know we've been successful in contributing the OWASP AI Exchange security framework to ISO/IEC 27090 and for the EU AI Act security standard. The latter was approved by the working group and has gone in consultation phase by the European Commission and the EU countries on Feb 7! When the results come in on March 7th it would be a great moment for OWASP to shine and make some noise about it. I'll submit an OWASP blog post, I'll post on LinkedIN, OWASP can magnifiy, and OWASP can send out a press release. For the narrative we can tap into the current geopolitical discussion of AI regulation being important but also problematic because it stifles innovation. The narrative I envision is:

'OWASP leads the way in pragmatic AI standards and guidelines', where we explain that by involving OWASP practitioners, you can make sure that standards are practical and fair, and not made in an ivory tower. OWASP brings that to the table. And saves the world. The end.

Do you agree this is a timely and favourable narrative? Are you in on the plan for the press release etc. second week of March?

Best,

Rob van der Veer

Thanks Rob. I think that’s a great idea. Besides the press release, does anyone know journalists we can contact as well? They typically can amplify the messaging while putting their own take and opinion in the piece.

Rob,

Thanks for the heads up. This is something I think the staff are capable of deciding and while I fully support the plan,  I would leave the decision to them.  They also contract with a marketing firm that may be able to help with copy (not that I think you'll need it) or the aforementioned journalist question. 

Cheers and good work!

Harold
