Service Security: A Business Imperative
Services are a practical approach for enterprises to realize genuine business benefits such as lower operating costs, increased revenue, increased customer intimacy, lowering costs and increasing efficiencies. More sophisticated approaches to doing business such as real-time business, applications on demand and Internet utilities such as grid computing are all driven by Services.
With more and more sensitive information being shifted onto the Internet, Services security is now a primary business and IT consideration - and not an afterthought. This shift in priority is also being accelerated by inadequate information protection from traditional mechanisms such as SSL and VPN as well as by strict government regulations such as GLB, HIPPA, Sarbanes Oxley and e-Gov initiative.
