Mr. Brown is also participating in a panel at the conference that will discuss real-world implementations and benefits of SOA deployments. 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 also must expose critical data across corporate boundaries and eventually to partners, customers, and, potentially, criminals. Mr. Brown 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: * The evolution of security standards for SOA, from WS-Security to SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language) An XML-based format from OASIS for exchanging security information for single sign-on. The "assertions" are statements from a SAML authority that authenticate a user, confirm some attribute about the individual and grant or and beyond * Solutions to the security challenges faced by loosely coupled, federated Connected and treated as one.
