Product Description: The SecureSpan™ Gateway is a hardware accelerated XML firewall that defends access to Web services exposed to business partners and external departments. Delivered as a high-performance rack-mount appliance, blade or remotely configurable software, the SecureSpan Gateway is deployed in a DMZ or data center in front of shared Web services. The Gateway provides integration and security architects administrative control on how Web service get exposed to and accessed by external applications. These includes controls for defining policy around transport, data translation, identity, credentialing mechanisms, PKI, access preferences, xml threats, data validation, communication integrity, privacy management, SLA, audit and so forth. The SecureSpan Gateway also provides an integration point for extending existing PKI, Identity, SSO, federation and MOM infrastructures to Web services ensuring customers can leverage existing security and messaging infrastructures for their Web services and SOA initiatives.
Performance: Up to 300 million webservices transactions per day for a single SecureSpan Gateway Applicance.
Interfaces: 2 Gigabit Ethernet Ports (Copper)
Key Features & Benefits:
Deployment Flexibility: The SecureSpan Gateway is available as an accelerated 64-bit appliance, blade for IBM BladeCenter (with hardware acceleration) and as server-based software.
Dedicated Security Acceleration: Layer 7 combines 64-bit multi-CPU processing with specialized silicon for inspecting and transforming XML message content. This capability allows the SecureSpan Gateway to process literally millions of transactions per day.
Scaling and Availability: Layer 7 gateways are linearly scalable for all security and policy operations and require zero downtime for replacement or upgrades. This gives customers the ability to meet or exceed critical service-level and operational targets for both current and future SOA services.
Policy Flexibility and Extensibility: Layer 7 provides a rich policy vocabulary which supports non-linear or branching policy execution based on identity, message content , SLA parameters or operation. Customers use this vocabulary to quickly implement fine-grained security, compliance and governance policies for Service Oriented Architectures. To meet future needs, this vocabulary is modular and can be quickly extended to support custom requirements or new standards.
Policy Change Management: The SecureSpan Gateway automatically enforces changes to policies in real-time a Gateway cluster without downtime and can mirror policy changes directly to multiple client applications with the optional Layer 7 SecureSpan Bridge.
Highlights: Hardware accelerated XML processing for Gigabit wire-speed threat protection and message transformations in XML and webservices applications.
End-Users: Medium to Large Enterprises.
