Nexaweb Technologies and Layer 7 Technologies have formed a strategic alliance that will help commercial and public sector organizations deploy secure Enterprise Web 2.0 and Service-Oriented Business Applications (SOBA).

Enterprise Web 2.0 and SOBA development have gained significant momentum among enterprise and public sector IT organizations as delivery platforms for next-generation “services-based” composite, RIA, “mashup,” and Net-centric applications. A major consideration in the development of these applications, however, must be governance including the identity of the application user and their location, the provider of these services, how they are secured, and their level of testing. In addition, the increased use of technologies that support client-side application processing can present potential security risks, something public sector organizations are beginning to refer to as “mobile code.”

Together, Nexaweb and Layer 7 offer application architects and software developers an interoperable product architecture for governing Enterprise Web 2.0 and SOBA applications. Architects and developers can assign broad application access and usage policies, as well as “services” availability rules, in correlation with the organizations SOA governance framework based on user identity, physical location, and IP address. Likewise, architects and developers now have the ability to secure “mobile code” or programmatic communication between clients and servers over public networks.
