Xtradyne's WS-DBC - the SOAP Gateway for Enterprises

The Web Services Domain Boundary Controller (WS-DBC) provides enterprises the specific, encompassing, and reliable protection needed for Web Services: against malformed messages and malicious content (XML, SOAP) at the company's domain boundary (firewall, DMZ), while in transit by means of encryption (SSL at transport level, XML Encryption and XML Digital Signature at field level), and for Authentication, Authorization, and Audit (user, group, role, content based access control).

The product is a powerful, flexible, enterprise-grade XML/SOAP Firewall solution specifically designed for use in environments that demand the utmost in performance, scalability, availability, and policy management (such as telecommunications and finance). Easy and effortless installation makes it particularly suitable for the secure XML-based integration of ERP systems, within the enterprise, and with partners outside the firewall.

XML/SOAP Firewall

The WS-DBC is a XML/SOAP firewall that reliably protects against all the specific risks associated with the exposure of Web Services across the company's firewall and the exchange of XML messages over external networks. The product hides Web services behind virtual service endpoints and inspects all SOAP messages, blocking messages with incorrect, malformed, or malicious content. It protects applications from misuse and unauthorized access, and the XML messages on the network from eavesdropping and tampering.

The WS-DBC is a WS-Security gateway that provides all security functions needed for the detailed control of access to the company's XML based application systems. It performs authentication, authorization, and audit functions for all service requests. It enables centralized security administration for a multitude of XML Web Service based application systems with large numbers of (internal and external) users. The WS-DBC as a highly secure policy enforcement point can be integrated transparently without any modifications of the existing software.
