Subject: [announce] XTRADYNE releases High-Performance Web Services Firewall
XTRADYNE releases High-Performance Web Services Firewall September 1, 2003 BERLIN/FRANKFURT - Xtradyne Technologies, the leading vendor for application security gateways, today announced the general availability of version 1.3 of its Web Services Domain Boundary Controller (WS-DBC) product, a comprehensive Web Services security solution. The WS-DBC lets enterprises securely expose Web Services to the Internet without compromising security at either applications or enterprise firewalls. The WS-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 WS-DBC can be easily integrated into existing Web Services infrastructures without modifying applications, and provides WS-Security and unified security management across diverse platforms, such as Microsoft .NET, IBM WebSphereTM, BEA WebLogic, Java WSDK, IONA ASP, and Systinet WASP. According to Dr. Gerald Brose, Product Manager Web Services at Xtradyne, the WS-DBC is an essential building block 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 a few hours and causes very low overhead costs. Exposing a Web Service securely using the WSDL import features of the new WS-DBC 1.3 version is extremely simple." As a pure software solution, the new WS-DBC version 1.3 offers full deployment flexibility and timely releases of new security standards. The WS-DBC in its new version matches the XML processing speed of the fastest hardware-based appliances, but without the disadvantages of proprietary hardware. The WS-DBC is supported on the Solaris 8 and 9 platforms, and on Linux. Key features of the WS-DBC include: * Extremely high performance and throughput * Pre-built, productized SOAP security without any programming * Convenient service exposure using WSDL * Powerful SAML support, including flexible SAML injection capabilities * Security integration of various service platforms * Unified security management, and simple administration with powerful, remote graphical administration console * Expressive policy models, and fine-grained, role-based access control (RBAC) * Maximum enterprise integration and B2B support through federated trust, using SAML and credentials mappings * rich set of authentication mechanisms for users, servers, and intermediaries * Message validation using XML schema * Message content filtering * Message integrity and confidentiality * Transport security using SSL/TLS * Powerful Policy Server for enterprise-level security management of multiple different gateways * OCSP support for certificate revocation checks * support for SSL accelerator cards * Enterprise integration with LDAP support * Auditing, Monitoring, and secure Logging with SNMP, syslog, etc * Scalability and High Availability through cluster support The Xtradyne WS-DBC 1.3 is generally available since 1 September 2003.
