Article: Security evaluation of MS .net framework and IBM WebSphere. Conclusion: "@stake found that both the .NET Framework and WebSphere platforms provide comprehensive tools and infrastructure for building secure applications. Both platforms scored well across nearly all of the security areas we analyzed, with the caveat that web services security is not yet standardized, and support in the platforms for them is still relatively immature. Although we found that the .NET Framework scored higher overall, the differences were not large. IBM would have increased its scores if there had been more attention paid to helping developers write secure applications . As a result, companies may find the .NET Framework to be an easier web application platform to secure initially. For firms deciding on which framework to go with, the right choice largely boils down to factors unrelated to security: namely, the existing developer skill base, and the importance of single-vendor versus open technologies.
