AMTSO’s preliminary charter focuses on the following five areas:
- Providing a forum for discussions related to the testing of anti-malware and related products;
- Developing and publicizing objective standards and best practices for testing of anti-malware and related products;
- Promoting education and awareness of issues related to the testing of anti-malware and related products;
- Providing tools and resources to aid standards-based testing methodologies; and,
- Providing analysis and review of current and future testing of anti-malware and related products.
Members of the Anti-Malware Testing Standards Organization (AMTSO) have
published guidelines that, for the first time, set recognized standards
for testing security software. The standards have been developed and
agreed to by more than 40 security experts, product testers and members
of the media from around the world. The creation and publication of
these standards is a critical first step in fulfilling AMTSO’s mission
to improve the testing of anti-malware products. Read more...
