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.</div><div><br></div><div>In its introductory <a target="new"

 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.</div></span></body></html>
