OFFERING
Layer 7 is pioneering the market for purpose-built technology
that is designed and engineered to secure integrated
Web services and policy management "end to end."
Through a scalable gateway, we centralize the creation
and administration of "fine-grained" security
policies that are fully customizable to a consumer or
collection of Web services in addition, we address the
challenge of security interoperability between .NET
and J2EE.
In essence, Layer 7 is a software solution that automates
security and policy coordination for Web Services thereby
eliminating the expense, time, and complexity of hard
coding.
SecureSpan is a purpose-built product for securing
XML & SOAP - based Web services that is aimed at
taking cost and risk out of large integration projects.
We deliver this product as a net appliance designed
to:
1) Transform security from a programming problem
to an administrative task and to integrate with your
existing technology infrastructure – firewalls,
app servers, load balancers and so on.
2) Unlike other solutions that only address security
on the Provider side, we believe it is important to
also address security on the requester or consumer
side.
3) Another important part of our product vision is
to establish a foundation that will take our customers
beyond security policies and allow them to manage
any type of usage policies – such as SLAs or
automatic location of services with a specific security
profile.
Layer 7 products and services include:
- Identity/Trust Bridging
- Extending SSO to Web Services
- Message level security, audit and tracking
- Web Services security and policy management
