- Product Description
- XWall(tm) is the first Web Services Firewall, detecting and preventing a new breed of Web services threats - such as XML viruses, parser attacks and schema poisoning - that today's firewalls and intrusion prevention systems are blind to. XWall complements these with deep inspection, validation and monitoring of the new content layer to ensure the security, integrity and availability of Web services. Inexpensive and simple to install, XWall brings Web services security to the masses.
- Market Opportunity
- Most large firms already have or are planning some kind of Web services project within the next year (Gartner). Almost 70% of companies view security as a barrier to Web services deployment. XWall is the first to protect against a new breed of Web services threats. Web services security will reach $4.4B in revenues by 2006 (ZapThink). XML will represent 65% of the total IT security market by 2006 (IDC).
- DEMO Says
- Enterprise IT organizations cite security as the biggest barrier to the adoption of Web services. That security threat becomes greater as Microsoft migrates its desktop apps to an XML base. Forum Systems returns to DEMO with XWall, a simple solution that detects and secures vulnerabilities at the edge of the network. Forum System's easily-adoptable approach is ideal for SMEs that are adopting Web services. - CS
