Beeware and Vordel

Beeware has launched the v-Sentry, a single appliance firewall that protects Web applications and Web Services without sacrificing performance. Supporting standards such as WS-Security and SAML, the solution links access control policies into identity management infrastructure and blocks threats within XML messages, SOAP attachments and at the HTTP level.

A fluctuating application landscape means that most organisations have to manage:

• Legacy applications
• Web applications
• Web Services that allow incompatible applications to communicate with one another

Service Oriented architecture is a business enabler, not only does it instill new life into historical applications, it also means more efficient business processes. Application enablement has therefore become a critical requirement for business. A global and flexible solution in the form of v-Sentry is specifically designed to allow an organisation to manage all the variables that are part of the application landscape today.
