RSA, Gartner and Forum Systems to Host Webinar featuring Identity-Driven SOA's.

Forum Systems:

WHAT:   Learn how to effectively authorize your Web services as well
        as anticipate new requirements for cross-enterprise identity
        management. Attendees will gain insight on the following:

    --  How to use an integrated SOA Gateway and IdAM solution to
        insulate your customers and services from having to manage,
        implement and establish trust

    --  How to reduce the administrative challenge of managing trust
        relationships with IdAM solutions

    --  How standards based federated identity schemes simplify
        securely sharing identities between partners

    --  Design and implementation best practices to enforce
        message-layer security mechanisms for authentication,
        confidentiality and integrity

    --  The benefits of XML Acceleration and XML Firewall Appliances
        to mitigate against Web services vulnerabilities, malicious
        attacks and ensure cost-effective scalability

    --  Ray Wagner of Gartner will outline the security requirements
        for simple through sophisticated Web services and discuss
        current deployment models and best practices. Ray will also
        discuss the relationship between Identity Management and Web
        services in greater detail. "By 2008, at least 30% of
        enterprise exposing Web services to the Internet will
        experience successful attacks causing more than four hours of
        downtime to critical business functions (0.7 probability),"
        Ray predicts.
