Kenai also announced the availability of a "Summary Vulnerability Posture Assessment" service, which is free, for a limited time, to enterprises interested in applying state-of-the-art tools and expertise to obtain a rapid posture assessment of their Web services deployments. Enterprises can use this posture assessment to learn valuable information about their exposure to Web services vulnerabilities, including SQL injections and cross-site scripting, and security and policy failures that could put mission-critical data assets at risk or violate industry regulations. The service, which consists of planning, operations, reconnaissance and enumeration phases, results in a written summary of vulnerabilities that threaten the tested organization's Web services. For more information about Kenai's Summary Vulnerability Posture Assessment service contact Sales at 916-791-3918 or e-mail [e-mail]. This free service is available until January 31, 2006.

"Kenai Systems' eXamine family of products and services provide the automated framework for security and policy compliance that every enterprise deploying business-class Web services needs today," said Bill Kesselring, CEO of Kenai Systems. "Using our eXamineSOA Enterprise product, enterprises for the first time can coordinate an entire organization's Web services security and policy compliance efforts, taking full advantage of the contributions of everyone from the CSO, to the Q&A team, to the Web services developers. For organizations just beginning to evaluate their exposure to Web services risks and just beginning to plan their Web services security and compliance strategies, our no-cost Summary Vulnerability Posture Assessment and other consulting services can be invaluable."

The eXamine Family of Products

There are three products in the eXamine family: eXamineXT, eXamineSOA and eXamineSOA Enterprise.

eXamineXT enables developers and QA engineers to test Web services for exposure to security vulnerabilities, including those defined by security experts within the enterprise. The product is intended for small- to medium-sized organizations that want to protect themselves from malicious activities by controlling access to their deployed Web services via isolated subnets, firewalls or other add-on security measures, without the use of enterprise-wide security policies and practices.

eXamineSOA adds policy definition and enforcement to the testing capabilities of eXamineXT. Using eXamineSOA, CSOs and other security professionals can define security policies and best practices, and developers and QA engineers can automatically generate and run tests based on those policies and practices. eXamineSOA is a cross-departmental solution that enables developers and QA engineers to benefit from the knowledge and policies of CSOs and security professionals, without costly and time-consuming training. Web services tested with eXamineSOA are secure and policy-compliant before they are deployed.

eXamineSOA Enterprise extends eXamineSOA with a multi-user shared library, enabling enterprises to centralize control over the development and implementation of Web services, security policies and best practices. Using eXamineSOA Enterprise, each user can work in a separate, controlled environment (or "sandbox") and then publish his or her completed work. The product's shared library allows enterprises to centralize the definition and deployment of security policies and best practices and to measure the compliance of SOA services with these policies and practices. Additionally, organizations using eXamineSOA Enterprise can make the experience and lessons learned in Web services deployment available to developers building and maintaining Web services.
