Firewall Challenge renamed to Proactive Security Challenge (2009/04/23 16:27)

Firewall Challenge has been renamed to Proactive Security Challenge. There were several reasons why we decided to rename this project. We wanted to stress out the fact that this project always focused on security products that implement application-based security model and behavior blocking features – i.e. most of Internet security suites, HIPS, personal firewalls and behavior blockers on the market. We want to mitigate misunderstanding and criticism of our project by eliminating the word firewall from its name and web pages. You can read what kind of products do we test in Proactive Security Challenge in the project's FAQ. We have also modified the content of the projects web pages so that the focus and goals of the project should be clear.

The challenge will continue very soon.
