Qualys last week
unveiled IronBee, a new open source Web application firewall (WAF)
project. The goal of the project is to leverage the open source
community to build a high performance WAF that can protect users against
the latest security threats to Web applications. The software will
feature a liberal license, and will be free to anybody.
In its introductory white paper
Qualys says its goal with IronBee is to create a "universal application
security sensor." In other words, it wants a flexible WAF framework
upon which users can customize their specific rules and restrictions,
and upon which software vendors can build commercial open source
products.
