I’m glad to read that SPI Dynamics will be joining the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) as a Vendor Organization member. Additionally, SPI Dynamics is lending support to the OWASP Site Generator (OSG) project by allocating its membership fees to the ongoing success of this initiative.

"The OWASP Site Generator (OSG) project is an important industry initiative that we’re proud to support. OWASP has grown into a vital global resource for web application security research," says Michael Sutton, Security Evangelist, SPI Dynamics. "As leaders in the web application security industry, SPI Dynamics believes that supporting organizations such as OWASP is vital for the encouraging awareness and providing access to the tools and information necessary for securing web applications."

It’s great to see the big vendors teaming up with open-source security researchers. If I were you, I’d keep a close eye on the OWASP Site Generator becase the OWASP Spring of Code 2007 is just about to start.
