Announcement: The Web Application Firewall Evaluation Criteria v1 Released

[contact () webappsec org]

The Web Application Firewall Evaluation Criteria project is proud
to announce v1.0 of The Web Application Firewall Evaluation Criteria
(WAFEC), its first official release.

WAFEC is a result of a collaboration between web application
firewall vendors and independent security professionals to create a
comprehensive, vendor-neutral, web application firewall evaluation
criteria. The resulting framework can be used to evaluate and
and compare web application firewalls.

WAFEC v1.0 can be downloaded from the project home page:

  http://www.webappsec.org/projects/wafec/


Participation in WAFEC is open to the interested parties. To comment
on the work done so far or join the effort contact Ivan Ristic, the
WAFEC project leader.
