Layer 7 Technologies

Portal initiatives are becoming key consumers of SOA technologies. By providing a single framework for delivering information and functionality consistently across Web and Web services, SOA promises significant IT benefits including flexibility and reuse. However, managing security, policy and transactional preferences consistently between the Web and Web services remains problematic. There are issues of credentialing, federation, session, compliance and so on. In this talk given by Layer 7 Senior Product Manager Phil Walston, he will examine some of these issues and their solutions using specific customer examples in the insurance and banking sector.
