Westbridge Technology Introduces
XML Firewall Appliance
Westbridge is formally announcing the Westbridge XA2500 XML Firewall
Appliance
which provides comprehensive security and monitoring solutions for XML Web
Services. The Westbridge XA2500 appliance runs the flagship Westbridge XML
Message Server (XMS) enterprise software, providing unparalleled security,
performance, reliability and scalability with an easy-to-use administration
interface for managing simple to highly complex XML networks.
"Our customers operate large, complicated networks that need to be cost
effectively and securely managed," said James George, Managing Director at
Mantech, a leading provider of solutions for the U.S. federal government. "XML
and Web Services accelerate the ability for different applications across
different departments to integrate and communicate but greatly raise the
complexity. Westbridge Technology understands this issue and provides tools to
gain control and security for these environments."
"XML and Web Services create significant security challenges that existing
network firewalls are unable to address," said Jason Bloomberg, senior analyst
with ZapThink LLC. "Hardware XML security appliances provide easily
installable and manageable solutions for organizations who wish to drop a
fully configured and tested solution into their XML network. In other cases,
the flexibility of an all-software solution is more appropriate. Westbridge
Technology is one of the few XML and Web Services security vendors who offers
both software and hardware solutions, meeting a broad range of customer
needs."
The Westbridge XA2500 XML Firewall can be easily dropped into an XML
network
and requires just minutes to set up. The Westbridge XA2500 XML Firewall
includes the broadest range of security features available on the market.
Westbridge supports authentication, access control, encryption, decryption,
signing, signature verification, content filtering, logging, alerting and
provides protection against a broad range of malicious attacks possible
against XML and Web Services interfaces.
Westbridge provides centralized security management and supports
interoperability of complex environments with multiple legacy and emerging
standards in simultaneous operation, such as WS-Security, HTTP Authentication,
LDAP, Active Directory, X.509, PKI, SAML, XKMS, OCSP, CRL, XML Schema, XPATH,
XSLT, SNMP, SMTP, XML Encryption, and XML Signature. Capabilities such as
credential mapping between two different security schemes enable CIO's and
architects to reduce their Web Services development and testing costs by one-
third or more.
The Westbridge XA2500 is a powerful, 1U rack-mountable, dual-CPU, 2.4 GHz
appliance that runs on a highly secure operating system. The Westbridge XA2500
includes powerful host intrusion detection, simple and secure remote
administration, alerts and a security control center that monitors security
activity, fine-tunes system access, manages SSL and SSH keys and provides
firewalling, port forwarding and more. Additional Westbridge XA2500 appliances
can be simply added to increase throughput and reliability.
