Secure The main focus of this framework is to be secure. Banshee is protected against common attacks like SQL injection, Cross-Site Scripting, Cross-Site Request Forgery and session hijacking. The framework takes care of authenticating users in a transparent and secure way. While many other frameworks claim to be secure, Banshee is one of the few consisting of provable secure code. Even after you change the code.

Fast Although Banshee offers a lot of features and has everything a modern framework needs, it is very fast. Its lean MVC design and usage of XSLT for the view, result in very fast page generation. While it has an internal caching system for improved speed, it is still fast without it. Banshee has built-in support for Hiawatha's cache system to offer the same speed as a static website.
