Forum, Solea Com To Expand WS Security Reach To Europe
Forum Systems Inc, a provider of trust management and threat protection Web
services security solutions, announced it has partnered with Solea Com to
resell its entire suite of Web services security products including Forum
Sentry, Forum XWall and Forum Presido, to the continental European security
market further expanding its reach.
Together, Forum Systems and Solea Com will provide customers with flexible
technology options that increase efficiencies for interoperable Web services
security. Adding to Solea Com's extensive portfolio of technology solutions,
Forum's unique product offerings can accommodate any size businesses from
small to large enterprises and come in three form factors: hardware, software
and a PCI card. With multiple offices across Europe including those in Paris
and London and over 300 customers, Solea Com will immediately begin providing
a broad range of technical support and customer service to new and existing
customers.
"Large European companies are beginning to implement Web services security
initiatives using XML and SOAP as the backbone for their mission critical
applications but are unaware of the potential security vulnerabilities," said
Jacques Declas, CEO of Solea Com. "Forum Systems addresses a key gap in the
Web Services security market by looking at actual data transferred within
information packets where a new breed of data-level Web services attacks are
being targeted. Using Forum's advanced technology allows our customers to
proactively guard against these new vulnerabilities."
As the international Web services market matures, there is a growing focus on
providing flexible security solutions that work within an enterprises'
existing infrastructure and companies are looking at secure Service Orientated
Architectures (SOA) as part of their Web services deployments. Helping to
empower the European market on the benefits of Web services security and the
move toward flexible and secure SOA's, Solea Com specializes in making
strategic recommendations for high-end technical security solutions based on
Java and .NET for its European customer base. Forum Systems offers Solea Com a
flexible platform for reliable and secure Java and .NET development and
deployment, making the partnership a natural fit.
"We're pleased to partner with Solea Com and broaden our reach in the European
market through their strong channel," said Wes Swenson, president and CEO of
Forum Systems. "Solea Com has a 15-year history and an excellent reputation
for introducing security IT solutions within the European .NET community."
