DataPower partners with Netegrity to accelerate access management for advanced web services security.


DataPower Technology, Inc., the creator of intelligent XML-Aware Network (XAN) infrastructure, recently announced a partnership with Netegrity See SiteMinder., Inc. (Nasdaq:NETE), a provider of identity and access management solutions. With the successful integration between the DataPower XS40 XML Security Gateway and Netegrity TransactionMinder See SiteMinder., this partnership provides organizations with industry leading policy-based identity management unified with the most comprehensive wirespeed Web Services Private Implementations
Web services have been initially successful in private environments where large enterprises need to exchange data with their divisions and subsidiaries or with partners and clients.

 security device. With this offering, customers can leverage Netegrity TransactionMinder and DataPower's XS40 to secure access to Web Services without performance bottlenecks or distributed management headaches.

"With centralized access management and network-based Web Services security, enterprises can relieve the most burdensome costs and business risks associated with deploying Web Services," said Deepak Taneja, CTO at Netegrity. "The combination of Netegrity's powerful centralized Web Services access management solution with DataPower's leading-edge XML Web Services security enables companies to achieve high volume Web service transactions while realizing the streamlined business processes that Web Services provide."

"Enterprises are continuing to see the incorporation of advanced application functionality like accelerated XML processing, XML Web Service security, and centralized access control into networks. This requires more intelligent and optimized network infrastructure," said Eugene Kuznetsov, chairman and CTO at DataPower Technology Inc. "Augmenting Netegrity TransactionMinder's policy-based access management with a central, powerful policy enforcement engine in DataPower's XS40 XML Security Gateway, enterprises are able to achieve simplified management and the most complete, accelerated Web Service security across all their Web Services endpoints."

Web Services are based on standard XML protocols that provide tremendous flexibility, but are extremely verbose Wordy; long winded. The term is often used as a switch to display the status of some operation. For example, a /v might mean "verbose mode." and inherently insecure. In addition to SOAP firewall and XDoS protection, securing external-facing Web Services requires that all requests from a Web Service consumer are authenticated and transactions authorized based on consumer identity and security policy. Netegrity TransactionMinder provides authentication, authorization and auditing for Web services thereby strengthening the overall security of a company's Web Services implementation. DataPower offers a family of wirespeed XML-Aware Networking devices powered by DataPower's own patent-pending XG3 XG3 - Extreme G Racing 3 (video game), (the fastest XML processing technology in the world), to secure, accelerate and manage the XML network. DataPower's XS40 XML Security Gateway is a true network device and enables comprehensive Web Services security without impacting performance. The XML Security Gateway already provides hardware-accelerated SOAP filtering, XML firewall, XML Digital Signature, XML Encryption, WS-Security, SAML, XML schema validation and intelligent service virtualization. DataPower's XS40 integrated with Netegrity TransactionMinder provides the most inclusive Web Service access management and security processing necessary to scale today's enterprise security needs for all XML Web Service deployments.

The partnership between DataPower and Netegrity augments DataPower's support for Netegrity's Web Services Reference Architecture announced today that outlines the critical components, like XML security gateways, and standards for a securing Web Services.
