Subject: DataPower Wins Deal to Secure US Defense Information Systems Agency's (DISA) Net-Centric Services
Based on its Government-grade
Security, Reliability and Performance, XS40 Security Gateway Selected to Secure
Net-Centric Warfare Grids by DoD's Internal Network Service Provider
CAMBRIDGE, MASS, AUGUST
8, 2005 – DataPower®, the
original creator and leading provider of intelligent XML-Aware Network (XAN)
hardware, today announced that they have secured a contract from the US Defense
Information Systems Agency (DISA) for the DataPower XS40 XML Security
Gateway™ to support the Net-Centric Enterprise Services (NCES) Service
Security. NCES is designed to
achieve global interoperability within the United States Department of Defense
(DoD) and considered one of the major components of the Global Information Grid,
DoD’s global network for both classified and non-classified data. GIG ES will
provide complete, real-time access to reliable and critical, quality information
through the use of cutting-edge, Web-based, networked services. GIG ES is aimed
at improving the decision-making ability of military services and business
information owners by transforming the way they receive and access
information.
DataPower is the most
widely deployed provider of XML-aware networking devices to enable enterprises,
service providers and government organizations worldwide to secure, accelerate
and manage XML, Web services and message networks, including information grids.
For over 5 years DataPower has been successfully implementing XML acceleration
and Web services security solutions in the government sector (See: DataPower Brings
Application-oriented Networking to Government Sector; Ends Free Loaner
Program), with such customers as multiple US Department of Defense
agencies, Veterans Affairs Administration, the Massachusetts Department of
Revenue, SAIC, BAE, and Booz Allen Hamilton. By adding the DISA NCES Program to
its strong list of Federal customers, DataPower demonstrates both the
considerable momentum of XML-aware networking in the government space and its
leadership in this demanding sector.
DataPower's
message-level network devices are especially well suited to government
applications:
"DISA along with other military and civilian agencies
are rapidly building out XML Web service networks at Internet scale and
purchasing DataPower hardware to provide content-based message routing,
government-grade message-level security and centralized Web services access
control," said Mark Taber, Vice President of worldwide sales at DataPower.
"DISA's selection of DataPower is strong validation for both DataPower's
high-end product features and the need for highly secure, reliable, high
performing XML-aware network hardware in military
operations."
Powered by DataPower's patented
wirespeed XML processing technology, the DataPower XS40 XML Security Gateway
is a member of DataPower's award-winning, application-oriented networking
solution portfolio including the DataPower XA35 XML
Accelerator; the DataPower XI50 Integration
Appliance; and the gigabit-speed XG4 XML Chipset for
OEMs. The XS40 XML Security
Gateway combines hardened security, wirespeed performance and sophisticated,
patent-pending algorithms for XML threat protection and access management,
including XML
firewall, XDoS protection, SOAP filtering, fine-grained access
control, XML schema validation, digital signatures,
field-level XML encryption, XML/SOAP routing and
service virtualization.
The
XS40 provides both comprehensive standards support (such as WS-Security 1.0,
Liberty Alliance/SAML 1.0/SAML 2.0, WS-Trust, WS-Policy, WS-SecureConversation,
XACML, XPath, XKMS, WSDM, SSL, LDAP, and RADIUS), and integration with existing
security, management, network, and application infrastructure (Nortel, F5’s
BIG-IP, Redline Networks (now Juniper), IBM WebSphere, MQ Series, Tivoli, Tivoli
Federated Identity Manager, BEA WebLogic, CA eTrust, CA Unicenter, RSA, Sun
Identity Server, Netegrity, Oblix and
others).
