Dublin, Ireland , October 13 2003 - Vordel, the XML security and management company, today announced the integration of VordelSecure with RSA ClearTrust® web access management software, to provide an integrated XML security solution. As a result, RSA Security, the most trusted name in e-security®, has declared VordelSecure "RSA Secured RSA ClearTrust Ready", which certifies that VordelSecure is compatible with RSA Security's identity and access management software.

The collaboration allows for the deployment and management of Web Services in complex enterprise environments, with centralized security. Interoperability between the two products bridges the different fields of identity management and XML Web Services security, allowing the solution to meet the integration security requirements of the most demanding and forward-looking enterprise customers.

"The powerful combination of RSA ClearTrust software and VordelSecure enables enterprises to secure integration within the enterprise, and externally with customers, partners and suppliers," said Stuart Cohen, director of partner development at RSA Security. "Together, we have created an enterprise-level solution that ensures companies can secure their business process integration with XML systems, including Web Services, and Web systems such as extranets."

Vic Morris, CEO of Vordel, explained that combining VordelSecure and RSA ClearTrust software "ensures that our joint customers can create security policies that permit the secure extension of their business processes across the firewall." Morris went on to say that interoperability with VordelSecure will appeal to existing and new RSA ClearTrust software customers seeking to leverage their investment in an identity management product, by extending its functionality to secure their XML-based integration.
