Risk Management and Security in SOA
Enterprises are using SOA and Web Services to integrate and decentralize systems as never before. But classic IT “castle and moat” style security architectures don’t work well in these environments. This session describes a business risk management approach to building security into an SOA strategy. We review architectural approaches, key risk management decisions, personnel, and metrics that allow security services to enable growth and interoperability.
