Reactivity Showcases Identity-based Reporting and Alerting for XML Web Services at RSA Conference; Latest Edition to XML Gateway Family Delivers Unique Identity-based Alerting and Reporting to Protect Privacy and Sensitive Information in Web Services

Business Wire, Feb 14, 2006

SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Reactivity(R), Inc., the leading independent XML Security Gateway company, today showcased its entire suite of Reactivity XML Gateways at the 15th Annual RSA Conference (Booth # 531, RSA Security Partner Pavilion), including the new Identity Insight module.

Reactivity's Gateways with the Identity Insight module (http://www.reactivity.com/news_and_events/pr_062805_idinsight.html) are the market's only XML message and Web services products that deliver multi-level, multi-credential identity-based reporting, routing and alerting with comprehensive privacy enforcement. This combination delivers the industry's first solution to make XML-based Web services comply with privacy and data protection regulations and route messages based on embedded identity information. Reactivity Gateways can verify, conceal and transform sensitive data so that Web services maintain confidentiality and notify administrators in real-time of non-compliant XML message traffic and improper identity usage situations.

"As Web services moves into production across the enterprise, the next major stumbling block for organizations is delivering fine-grained access control, protecting customer privacy and enforcing diverse sources of identity management to ensure the integrity of transactions and privacy of sensitive information," said Andrew Nash, CTO of Reactivity. "Reactivity Gateways take advantage of centralized access to message traffic, identities and Web services, and combine that with both unique identity-based routing and instant integration with existing identity management systems. This enables Reactivity to optimize performance and deliver the governance that ensures vital systems are only accessed by authorized personal."

Reactivity's executives and customers have been chosen to present in several key venues at the 15th annual RSA Conference, McEnery Convention Center, San Jose, February 13-17, 2006.

Gateway Family Solves Wide Array of Security Challenges

The Reactivity XML Access Gateway is one of a family of wire-speed XML networking solutions that solve key access control, identity management, threat prevention, mediation, acceleration and routing required by Web services and Service Oriented Architectures (SOA). As initiatives move beyond a single use case, Reactivity customers leverage this family of solutions to replicate their initial success enterprise-wide with a single XML networking platform.

Widespread Praise and Success for Reactivity Solutions

Reactivity continues to receive widespread praise for its solutions in real-world applications and test environments. Just last month, Reactivity prevailed over Actional, DataPower (acquired by IBM), Forum Systems and Sarvega (acquired by Intel) in a comparative review published in Business Communications Review. InfoWorld also recently named Aeroplan to its 2005 "InfoWorld 100" annual ranking of the most innovative corporate IT solutions for its reward redemption program powered by Reactivity's XML security gateways.
