XML Firewall

Secure Your SOA, Share Your SOA

Traditionally, security and entitlement requirements have been coded into each and every application service in the organization. When those requirements (or the standards on which they’re based) change, every service needs to be updated.

The SecureSpan XML Firewall lets organizations secure systems by providing a centralized enforcement point for policy-driven authentication and fine-grained, service level authorization. Centralizing security and access requirements in policy that can be run as a shared service in front of applications provides consistent security, while simplifying audit and compliance burdens. With centralized authentication, authorization and audit (AAA) policies in place, changes can be instituted as new or updated policy rules, dramatically decreasing IT maintenance costs.

• Identity-driven SOA – With support for leading IAMs and SSOs, organizations can quickly leverage their existing identity infrastructure to centrally enforce authentication and authorization.
• Secure Cross-domain Interactions – With built-in PKI and STS capabilities, organizations can cost-effectively implement AAA security between disparate identity domains.
• Secure Cross-domain and B2B Relationships – Integrated PKI CA/RA as well as STS/SAML issuer provides credential chaining, credential remapping and support for federated identity.
