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

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

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

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.

Joint Webinar with Layer 7 and Parasoft: From Testing to Deployment-How to Build Secure, Reliable & Compliant Web 2.0 Applications

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
