By Kat Rollin July 22, 2008 — As SOA moves from pilot to production, the need for robust security and governance becomes ever more crucial. Composite applications require unprecedented levels of interaction between applications and humans. How do you define and orchestrate these interactions without coding? How do you enforce corporate and regulatory compliance policies across distributed application services? How do you protect your services from malicious attack or accidental damage? How do you enforce privacy policies like PCI, HL7, or ACORD? Identity-driven SOA governance solutions from Sun and Layer 7 Technologies do just that without compromising performance, scalability, or manageability. Sun and Layer 7 working together provide a complete end-to-end solution for simplifying the provisioning and management of an SOA.
