The amount of data analyzed was upwards of 4x greater than what was used for the 2017 OWASP Top Ten release. OWASP Top Ten Co-Lead and Union University Professor Brian Glas discusses how the data was compiled and analyzed and how the OWASP Top Ten categories were reevaluated. This in-depth Inside AppSec Podcast interview also examines the rationales behind each of the 10 categories.
