SOA Security 2009: Four Solution Patterns

A Two-Dimensional Continuum For Diverse SOA Security Solutions

This is the fourth document in the "SOA Security: 2009" series.

by Randy Heffner

with Khalid Kark, Matt Czarnecki


Executive Summary (This is a document excerpt)

Architects crafting their organization's strategy and architecture for service-oriented architecture (SOA) security have a wide diversity of security requirements, business scenarios, and application infrastructure to deal with. To set a solid direction forward, architects must weave together products, standards, and custom-built components into a flexible and robust SOA security solution. Few can afford to invest upfront to build a solution that addresses all future requirements, and a complete and comprehensive SOA security solution is typically more than a single project needs. To assist architects in pursuing an incremental approach, Forrester provides four broad solution patterns that show how to combine diverse products into an SOA security solution for today's needs as well as how today's solution can leave a path open for tomorrow's needs.
