AmberPoint to Present on SOA Security Management at the MIS Training Institute’s IT Security World 2007

SOA Security Experts Andrew Brown and Gene Thurston to Discuss Real-World Implementations, Challenges and Benefits

Oakland, CA, September 17, 2007 -- AmberPoint, the industry's leading provider of SOA runtime governance software, is pleased to announce that its Director of Security Product Strategy, Andrew Brown, and its Security Architect, Gene Thurston, will present at the upcoming MIS IT Security World 2007. Their presentation, entitled "Think Globally, Act Locally for SOA Security," will review SOA security challenges and solutions.

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 must also expose critical data across corporate boundaries and eventually to partners, customers, and, potentially, criminals. Mr. Brown and Mr. Thurston 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:

• Security challenges unique to SOA applications


• Why conventional security models do not work for SOA


• Security policy best practices


• First- and last-mile security


• Security within the broader scope of a project

Andrew Brown, Director of Security Product Strategy, AmberPoint

September 18, 2007
