Webinar: The IAM-As-An-API Era:

You Must Become A Cloud Identity Services Provider

When: Thursday 6th December 8AM PST - 11AM EST - 4PM GMT - 5PM CET

Federated single sign-on has invaded the social networking world, with the "social sign-in" pattern demonstrating powerful new ways of sourcing identity data. Enterprises managing employee populations need to draw the right lessons from this pattern -- no, not moving to social logins for every purpose, but exposing APIs to the identity information for which you're authoritative -- and calling others' APIs for the rest. In this webinar, we'll discuss how to move to IAM-as-an-API and other elements of Forrester's Zero Trust model of identity and information security.

Outline of topics covered:

• How the consumerization of IT and its cousins are challenging IAM traditions
• The open Web needs Zero Trust to solve tough security, identity, and agility problems
• How to leverage emerging technologies to provide your own cloud identity services

Webinar: OAuth Enterprise Patterns

A Look At Real-World Deployment Patterns Using OAuth For Cloud And Mobile Security In The Enterprise

When: Thursday 8th November 8AM PST - 11AM EST - 4PM GMT - 5PM CET

OAuth has become the de-facto standard for securing Cloud and mobile APIs, yet most of the published OAuth use cases relate to social media and consumer centric scenarios. Implementing OAuth for B2B use cases is by no means a straight forward exercise and very little has been documented about how to use OAuth with legacy security protocols or indeed existing enterprise IT infrastructures. In this webinar, API and security experts from Vordel and aurionPro SENA will discuss enterprise deployment patterns for OAuth.

Topics we will cover on this webinar:

• A quick review of the OAuth 2.0 standard
• A survey of the most common enterprise deployment patterns for OAuth
• A number of case studies of OAuth implementations in the financial services, healthcare and technology industries
• How to leverage the API Server technology to deploy OAuth quickly

The Expanding role of the Gateway in a Modern IT Architecture

Best practices for leveraging SOA and Cloud Services in a fast, secure and connected manner

Randy Heffner Vice President, Principal Analyst Forrester Research, Inc.

Across today’s computing landscape, mobile computing, social networking, and Cloud computing open many new opportunities to create business value by creating new revenue channels, fostering tighter customer relationships, and reducing the cost of delivering products and services. Leveraging these new technologies demands a high level of application connectivity that extends far beyond enterprise boundaries, while still being fast, secured, and controlled. To meet the need, SOA gateways are expanding into application gateways, both in their feature-function and the scenarios they are being deployed. In this webinar, our guest speaker, Randy Heffner of Forrester Research, will examine the changing role of the Gateway in the evolving modern IT architecture, enabling organizations to robustly connect applications that can be quite literally anywhere. The webinar will review best practices for deploying Gateways to fulfill different roles as enterprises seek to:

• Deploy Enterprise Applications Beyond The Network Perimeter
• Consume Cloud Services Without Losing Control or Compromising Security
• Secure All Application Connections Using Enterprise Security Infrastructure

Andreas Homfeldt IT Architekt Deutsche Bausparkasse Badenia AG

Axel Grosse Solution Architekt Vordel

Die Deutsche Bausparkasse Badenia setzt für die Erfüllung ihrer Webservice Security Anforderungen bereits seit dem Jahr 2004 Produkte von Vordel ein. Inzwischen ist das Vordel XML Gateway zu einem zentralen Bestandteil der Anwendungssicherheit geworden, was zu einer guten Bewertung der Infrastruktur in mehreren Security Reviews führte. Im Webinar wird gezeigt, wie das XML Gateway in die bestehende Infrastrukturlandschaft integriert ist, und welche Policies für die Herstellung der Webservice Security konfiguriert wurden. Es wird anhand eines Beispiels aus der Praxis gezeigt, wie flexibel das Gateway an spezielle kundenspezifische Anforderungen angepasst werden kann.

Using REST to connect to iPhone apps and Facebook.

Overview
Find out how Facebook Marketplace scaled their online gift code offering for Apple iTunes, Home Depot, Nordstrom, Starbucks and others using a best practice API model based on Amazon Web Services' API.

Doug Birch, Chief Architect at Safeway subsidiary Blackhawk Network and Vordel CTO, Mark O'Neill discuss how Blackhawk implemented an innovative solution to govern their services-based offering across a hybrid SOA and Cloud environment and avoided heavy integration and development costs. In this webinar, we learn why Blackhawk uses a REST API to connect to Facebook Marketplace, and how Vordel enables this connection.

Using Standards to Manage Access to SOA and Cloud Services

In this Webinar, participants will learn how a Gateway and a Policy Server work together to apply policies to SOA and Cloud services. These policies control not only who accesses the services, but also when they access the services, how they use the services, and how the access control decision is made. This Webinar will describe a best practice framework that scales to high-volume usage and allows reuse of policies, promoting efficiency and reducing time-to-market and developments costs.
