Under the terms of a new license agreement with Layer 7 Technologies, Software AG will now offer and support Layer 7’s SecureSpan SOA security and policy enforcement to customers globally. It said Layer 7 is a provider of gateway software and appliances for securing, scaling and simplifying production SOAs.
When used in conjunction with the webMethods product suite from Software AG, Layer 7’s family of SecureSpan products can be used to simplify the implementation of security and policy controls for SOA. It also serves as a fully-interoperable Policy Enforcement Point for the services governed by CentraSite.
Jointly developed by Software AG and Fujitsu, CentraSite is a SOA governance tool. As a member of the CentraSite Community, Layer 7 is fully interoperable with CentraSite using standards-based approaches. For instance, the CentraSite Governance Edition from Software AG and the Layer 7 SecureSpan XML Appliance were used earlier this year to demonstrate interoperability of the WS-Policy Candidate Recommendation using the Universal Description, Discovery and Integration standard.
