dopo la mailing list promossa da php|architect nasce il PHP Security Consortium, che si occuperà di fare formazione e redigere documenti sulla sicurezza delle applicazioni scritte in php.

NEW YORK, NY – January 31, 2005 – An international group of PHP experts today announced the official launch of the PHP Security Consortium (PHPSC), a group whose mission is to promote secure programming practices within the PHP community through education and exposition while maintaining high ethical standards.

“As PHP has transitioned from personal projects to enterprise application development, the need to educate the community about secure programming practices has risen,” said Chris Shiflett, the group’s founder.

The PHPSC web site (http://phpsec.org/) provides a variety of security resources for PHP developers, including the group’s flagship project, the PHP Security Guide.

“PHP application security is a topic of growing importance,” said Andi Gutmans, one of the group’s charter members. “The launch of the PHP Security Consortium is a landmark event for the PHP community, and because most web development technologies face similar security concerns, we believe that developers using other solutions can also benefit from our efforts.”
