Subject: XTRADYNE announces Web Services Security Gateway
2 April BERLIN / FRANKFURT - Xtradyne Technologies, the leading vendor for pluggable eBusiness security, today announced the Web Services Security Domain Boundary Controller (WS-DBC), a comprehensive security solution to securely expose Web Services across network domains. The Web Services DBC is a platform and vendor neutral SOAP gateway that implements Web Services standards including SOAP, WSDL, WS-Security, SAML, and XML Digital Signature. The Web Services DBC can be easily integrated into existing Web Services infrastructures without modifying application and provides WS-Security and unified security management across platforms, such as Microsoft .NET, IBM WebSphereTM, BEA WebLogic, Java WSDK, IONA ASP, and Systinet WASP. According to Dr. Gerald Brose, Technical Product Manager Web Services at Xtradyne, the Web Services DBC is an essential cornerstone for a successful Web Services strategy. "Security is the most pressing concern for any production use of Web Services", Brose said. "With the WS-DBC, Xtradyne provides high-performance security to the enterprise that is both reliable and low overhead. The platform neutrality of the WS-DBC lets customers integrate it in their systems in a matter of minutes. Exposing a Web Service securely using the WSDL import features of the WS-DBC is extremely simple." The WS-DBC will be supported on the Solaris 8 and 9 platforms, and on Linux. Xtradyne has already, together with Quadrasis, Inc., Waltham, released a gateway product with extensive security integration features for Windows platforms, the Xtradyne/Quadrasis SOAP Content Inspector. The Xtradyne WS-DBC will be generally available on 1 May 2003. Key features of the WS-DBC include: * High-performance, simple SOAP security without programming * Convenient service exposure using WSDL * Security integration of various service platforms * Unified security management, and simple administration * Expressive policy models, and fine-grained, role-based access control (RBAC) * B2B support through federated trust using SAML and credentials mappings * Rich set of authentication mechanisms * Message validation using XML schema * Message integrity and confidentiality * Transport security using SSL/TLS * Separate Policy Server for enterprise-level security management * OCSP support for certificate revocation checks * Support for SSL accelerator cards * Enterprise integration with LDAP support * Auditing, Monitoring, and secure Logging About Xtradyne: Xtradyne's particular field since its foundation in 1999 has been security for applications relying on standard middleware, such as Web Services, J2EE, EJB, and CORBA. Using Xtradyne's cost-effective, turn-key runtime components, customers can securely run business applications across domain boundaries, and also make them available via the Internet without security risks. The company Xtradyne, founded by the two co-CEOs Tim Eckardt and Sebastian Staamann, is represented in Berlin and Frankfurt, Germany.
