General Session: Enterprise Security in an SOA-based Enterprise
Paul Patrick, Chief Security Architect, BEA
As enterprises begin to move toward application infrastructures based on a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) approach, it's becoming critical to understand the security implications that come along with these decisions. Areas such as reliability, availability, scalability, performance, and isolation become critical factors when thinking about the security requirements of this kind of approach. Additionally, there is the common issue of integrating the security aspects of legacy applications into an overall security fabric for the enterprise. With these issues in mind, this talk focuses on emerging standards and best practices that can be used to address some of these issues.

Keynote:
Using
Frameworks to Accelerate Your Service-Oriented Architecture
Ted Farrell,
Chief Architect, Application Development Tools Division, Oracle
Service Oriented Architectures (SOA) are increasingly becoming the preferred environment for enterprise applications. The benefits of standard interfaces and loose coupling between services allow for a much more dynamic and easy-to-maintain solution for corporations. However, while the concepts of SOA are simple, the implementation can pose significant challenges.
We'll discuss some of the issues and concerns that enterprises face when implementing a SOA-based solution, and show how to greatly increase the opportunity for success through the use of a development framework. Frameworks can not only increase the productivity of the developers building the applications, they also can decrease the total cost of ownership by reducing the complexities of building and deploying composite applications. |
