Joint Webinar with Layer 7 and Sun: Identity Driven SOA Governance - Best Practices - Podcast Featuring The Burton Group

Thu, 10 Jan 2008 14:37:13 GMT

Presenters:

Anne Thomas Manes (VP and Research Director, Burton Group)
Dr. Toufic Boubez (CTO, Layer 7 Technologies)
Ross Altman (CTO, SOA and Business Integration, Sun Microsystems)

Webinar Overview

Digital Identity is at the heart of the modern business ecosystem. However, governing SOA interactions - particularly across a distributed or federated environment - creates complexity not found in typical user-machine exchanges. Separating policy creation and enforcement from service implementation can simplify SOA governance without compromising scalability, flexibility and auditability - accommodating even the most elaborate, heterogeneous IT landscapes. This Webinar will review best practices for building and operating a policy-centered, identity-driven SOA.

What You Will Learn

* The connection between identity management and SOA governance
* The importance of separating policy and entitlements from service implementation
* The challenges of managing and validating identity in SOA interactions
* Options for managing and enforcing identity-driven SOA policies
* How to implement identity-based governance in real-world SOA

A Practical Guide to Policy Authoring for SOA Governance

Sat, 29 Sep 2007 10:15:15 GMT

This Webcast, presented by Layer 7 CTO and WS-Policy co-editor, Dr. Toufic Boubez, will cover how to declaratively *define SOA Policy for SOA Governance applications.* Consistent, standards based policy definition is the first step in implementing an SOA Governance framework. However, few tools exist for managing the policy authoring process and integrating it into the full policy lifecycle process including repository, approval workflow, enforcement, monitoring and change. Since successful policy definition lies at the heart of SOA security and SLA implementation it is essential in practice. In this Webcast you will learn:

why declarative Policy is critical for implementing SOA Security, Quality of Service and Governance
industry standards for defining SOA Policy in an interoperable way
tools and IDE's for authoring SOA Policy
demonstration of policy authoring in SOA
putting it all together: showing how policy authoring fits into a broader SOA Policy Lifecycle Process

Joint Webinar with Nexaweb & Layer 7 - Securing Web 2.0

Tue, 31 Jul 2007 23:05:07 GMT

The latest Web technologies allow organizations to improve their productivity, efficiency and agility by developing and deploying enterprise applications to users, wherever they are located. These applications enable the sharing of information both within and across departments. However, concerns about data security have prevented the migration of many mission-critical applications to the Internet.

During this informative event youll discover:

The challenges involved with developing secure, enterprise-class Web applications
How your organization can enjoy the benefits of Enterprise Web 2.0 technologies like Ajax and Java in compliance with your existing architectural security standards
Tools for creating secure, browser-based applications that can be deployed to connected, semi-connected, and mobile users
A platform that solves the challenges associated with net-centric information sharing (within and across departments)

From Testing to Deployment: How to Build Secure, Reliable & Compliant Web 2.0 Applications

Wed, 18 Apr 2007 20:46:49 GMT

Web 2.0 and rich internet applications are becoming more pervasive both behind and across the enterprise firewall. But successfully deploying Web 2.0 introduces new challenges that are not addressed with traditional Web-based tools and methodologies. The dynamic and hybrid nature of Web 2.0 technologies like AJAX, RSS and XML requires a new way of approaching both testing and security. In this joint presentation, Parasoft and Layer 7 Technologies will compare and contrast traditional Web and Web 2.0 deployment models, discuss the implications on testing and securing these applications and outline pragmatic approaches for implementing effective testing and security strategies for Web 2.0 applications.

Joint Webinar with Layer 7 and webMethods: Extending SOA across Organizational Boundaries

Tue, 27 Feb 2007 18:26:03 GMT

According to Information Week 55 percent of SOA projects will reach outside the boundaries of their department, division, or corporation.

To find out how you can meet the identity, security, and governance challenges of sharing and consuming services across organizational boundaries, join webMethods and Layer 7 for this groundbreaking webinar.

Realize the full promise of SOA by learning how to:

Expose service functionality safely and consistently across business silos
Deliver cross-boundary and multi-enterprise SOA securely within the parameters of a broader governance framework
Gain the quickest ROI and a strong position for funding additional SOA projects by going towards a multi-enterprise SOA model
Short-circuit traditional inter-departmental infighting and politics by inheriting significant negotiation and contract metadata from the pre-existing relationship between the organizations
Leverage project visibility to win support including visibility with partners, internal departments, the press and your boss.
Evangelize, promote, obtain funding for and succeed with SOA by going directly to the multi-enterprise endgame

Dont miss this opportunity to benefit from the experiences of successful SOA practitioners!

Layer 7 - Securing Web 2.0

Thu, 08 Feb 2007 01:07:45 GMT

Next generation Web 2.0 applications leveraging programmatic access to back-end applications, rich client interfaces and service oriented composability are transforming how the Web gets built integrated.

However, the new power and versatility afforded by Web 2.0 applications create new security, performance and governance issues stemming from the use of XML technologies like REST, RSS and AJAX.

In this talk given by Layer 7 Chief Architect Scott Morrison you will learn about common challenges associated with securing and deploying Web 2.0 applications and the role of specialized XML Appliances in addressing these exigencies.
