SOA Security Patterns
Securing access to information is important to any business. For implementations structured according to Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) principles to help business needs met by IT environment, security is even more critical. Due to the loose coupling of services and applications, and their possible operations across organizations and trust boundaries, new challenges arise. Securing the perimeter (firewalls, routers, etc.) is no longer sufficient for a flexible on demand business. In this session, we will discuss how security fits into the SOA lifecycle and introduce a SOA security reference model recently developed by a cross-functional IBM team. This model captures the essence of business security services, policy management infrastructure and infrastructure securing services that act as building blocks for a comprehensive SOA security solution. We will also discuss how this model can be applied to some common SOA use cases.
