What types of companies will contribute to the formation of AVDL?
All members of OASIS are invited to help craft the AVDL specification. We anticipate active participation from leading vendors, integrators and enterprises with expertise in the technologies and real-world business problems of managing application security. – Examples of how application attack prevention products will use AVDL Application attack prevention products operate much like firewalls for the web data center. They typically sit in front of web applications, performing deep inspection of all incoming requests, blocking application-layer attacks that traditional network firewalls can’t protect against. AVDL will make it easier for attack prevention products to recommend optimal policy settings based on vulnerabilities discovered by assessment tools or attack activity reported by event management systems. Using AVDL, the output of periodic vulnerability assessments could also be read directly by attack prevention products, ensuring up-to-date protection on an ongoing basis. – Exam
