Dr. Dirk Krafzig from SOAPARK and Mamoon Yunus from Crosscheck Networks held a Power Workshop on the subject “SOA Security Hands-on” at the SOA | BPM Integration Days 2012 in Munich. The increasing SOA-fication of traditional application landscapes inspires two contradictory tendencies in companies, namely the opening of internal systems to access by external applications on the one hand and the closing of the same applications for the protection of critical business data on the other. Simple integration mechanisms which effortlessly incorporate security considerations are therefore decisive for the success of an Enterprise SOA initiative in practice. In the “SOA Security Hands-on” workshop, participants learn SOA security principles, common industry standards and practical application scenarios.
