Business Wire, April 19, 2005

CHICAGO -- Sarvega(TM), Inc., the leader in XML Networking products, announced today that it is participating in the WS-Security OASIS interoperability demonstration at the Gartner Application Integration and Web Services Summit on April 20, 2005, at the Westin Century Plaza Hotel in Los Angeles, California. A member of the OASIS international consortium, Sarvega is one of several key organizations from around the world that participate at this event to exhibit the secure exchange of Web Service messages. WS-Security offers a trusted way to apply security to Web Services by establishing essential building blocks for higher-level services. The OASIS InterOp event illustrates multiple examples of protected messaging exchange as the capabilities of the OASIS Standard are applied in multiple real world Web Services scenarios.

Sarvega will be using its XML Guardian(TM) Gateway in the OASIS interoperability demonstration. Sarvega built the XML Guardian to be compliant with OASIS WSS Core and WS-Security standards. The XML Guardian Gateway combines industry leading security, performance, reliability, and ease of use to deliver comprehensive XML Firewall and Web Services protection to enterprises and governments worldwide. Sarvega's XML Guardian Gateway provides standards-compliant trust assurance for authentication, authorization, and auditing at wirespeed. It is the first XML Web Services security solution that offers device and service virtualization and enables each security policy action to dynamically associate security properties based on real-time traffic.

The XML Guardian Gateway includes sophisticated protection mechanisms for a range of XML attack patterns and anomalies including coercive parsing, password guessing threats, SQL code injection, dirty word filtering, external entity protection and XML security vulnerabilities. With its powerful multi-layered Denial of Service (DoS) protection mechanism, the Sarvega XML Guardian Gateway offers the most comprehensive security against XML Web Services threats and vulnerabilities. The XML Guardian(TM) Gateway also includes ebXML, SAML Token support, SOAP with Attachments, MIME Attachments, and SMTP transport support as part of its robust security feature set.

The Sarvega Command Center provides a simple visual drag-and-drop mechanism for security policy configuration, testing, and deployment on one or many XML Guardian Gateway appliances. The Sarvega Command Center provides an open, extensible and interoperable platform that can be easily extended and integrated into application security management environments. Its palette of pre-built security policy actions includes support for raw-XML and ebXML security, local and delegated Authentication, Authorization and Access Control (AAA), logging and auditing, and XML threat mitigation.
