AmberPoint to Present on SOA Security at Web Services and Security Conference 2007

Web Services Security Expert Andrew Brown to Discuss Real World SOA Security Implementations, Challenges and Benefit

Oakland, CA, May 7, 2007 -- AmberPoint, the industry's leading provider of SOA runtime governance software, is pleased to announce that its Director of Product Marketing for Security, Andrew Brown, will present at the upcoming UNATEK Web Services and Security Conference 2007. Mr. Brown's presentation, titled "Think Globally, Act Locally for SOA Security," will review SOA security challenges and solutions. Mr. Brown is also participating in a panel at the conference that will discuss real-world implementations and benefits of SOA deployments.

What:
Architecturally, SOA poses several unique challenges for application security. As companies move toward the SOA ideal of open, self-describing, and loosely coupled applications, they also must expose critical data across corporate boundaries and eventually to partners, customers, and, potentially, criminals. Mr. Brown will discuss how organizations can be successful by adopting a policy-driven approach to SOA governance that enables them to "think globally" about security, while letting the system "act locally" to enforce policy.

The presentation will include a discussion of:

• The evolution of security standards for SOA, from WS-Security to SAML and beyond


• Solutions to the security challenges faced by loosely coupled, federated, services-oriented systems


• Innovative strategies for leveraging existing security infrastructure to secure SOA


• Solutions for end-to-end security addressing first-mile and last-mile security in the SOA


• A pragmatic security roadmap for companies planning to roll-out SOA
