Security experts form Web Application Consortium

Feb 25, 2004 12:00 PM

Web applications security experts have formed the Web Application Security Consortium (WASC), a group dedicated to developing and promoting "security standards of best practice" for the World Wide Web.
WASC will focus on assisting developers, security professionals and software vendors. "The need for consistent technical terminology for Web-related security issues has a significant impact on risk assessment and remediation activities," says Pete Lindstrom, research director for Spire Security.
WASC's primary objectives include:
* Identifying security risks to e-business and privacy on the Web;
* Establishing consistent technical terminology relating to Web security issues; and
* Establishing Web application security standards of best practice for secure software development, independent security review and policy guidelines.
