What C7: Secure Digital Identities requires
OWASP Top 10 Proactive Controls 2024, C7: Secure Digital Identities. Digital Identity is a unique representation of an individual, organization (or another subject) as they engage in an online transaction. Authentication is the process of verifying that an individual or entity is who they claim to be. This is one of the OWASP Top 10 Proactive Controls (2024 edition), the OWASP Foundation's list of the ten most important security techniques that every software architect and developer should build into every project. Where the OWASP Top 10 enumerates the most critical web application security risks, the Proactive Controls enumerate the defensive techniques that prevent them. Organizations should treat this control as a design requirement, an implementation checklist, and a continuous-verification obligation, supported by a security policy, automated testing in the CI/CD pipeline, developer training, and incident response.
