Westbridge, RSA Strengthen Partnership Through Integration

Westbridge Technology, a provider of security infrastructure solutions for Web services and Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA), announced it has achieved RSA Secured certification with leading solutions from RSA Security Inc. Westbridge Technology has integrated its XML Message Server (XMS) with RSA Keon software for digital certificate issuance and validation and has also completed integration with RSA Federated Identity Manager for distributed management of identity and policy information. Westbridge Technology adds these certifications to an existing certified integration with RSA ClearTrust software for centralized management of identity and access policy. These three certifications provide customers with powerful, integrated solutions for securing Web services and SOA.

Companies deploying Web services to connect autonomous business units, customers, business partners, and remote offices require trusted identities across the boundaries of corporate networks. The strength of certified integration with RSA Federated Identity Management, RSA Keon software and RSA ClearTrust software will assure end-to-end security for Web services, ease of deployment, and coordinated policy management and enforcement.

"Westbridge Technology is a leader in XML Security and SOA enablement, and is a key, technology partner for our go-to-market Web services strategy," said Stuart Cohen director of partner development at RSA Security. "Our joint customers can leverage policy information and technology across application, Web and Web services communication, providing centralized management, consistency and control. Our integration across product lines provides joint customers with fully-certified, best of breed technology to secure Web services and SOA infrastructure."

E-business has advanced in the marketplace where companies are now seeking to make identity, access and privileges portable. Solutions from both Westbridge Technology and RSA Security can interoperate to enable e-business, similar to how a driver's license from one state is a trusted credential and proof of identity accepted by other states. Companies seeking to collaborate across business domains through secure Web services must look to interoperable solutions to assure security, ease of deployment and reduce the time it takes to reach revenue gains.

"RSA Security and Westbridge Technology provide key technologies for scaling to an enterprise SOA," said Tom Ryan, CEO and president of Westbridge Technology. "Our joint solution enables organizations to quickly and cost- effectively deploy services-based architectures and even extend those architectures to capture the benefits of deploying cross-domain SOA."
