Presentation
Architecting SOA Securely
SOA is not just a methodology for integrating systems and data; it's also a means of integrating different legacy security models. It is critical, therefore, that security be a first class construct in any SOA project. Identity, confidentiality, integrity, audit, key management, and reliability are all critical aspects of a successful SOA that must be considered up front for the architecture to be a success. In this talk, you recognize that SOA is an opportunity to make distributed computing more secure. We will discuss how existing security models can be integrated and adapted, preserving investments in these systems. We will learn how secure design patterns, such as defense-in-depth, can be leveraged to build portioned zones of trust within a SOA. We will examine how federation works in SOA, and what impact it has upfront on architecture. And finally, we will study how new standards and emerging infrastructure can play an important role in a secure SOA. return to program
