Layer 7 Technologies announced a go-to-market partnership
with Novell to secure programmatic Web services, leveraging Novell eDirectory
and Novell Access Manager identity solutions.
Under the terms of the agreement Layer 7 will become a
preferred partner joining Novell's identity and security management partner
ecosystem to help address Web services security. End-users will benefit from an
integrated best of breed approach to Web and Web services security.
“As more enterprises and commercial Web sites expose their
business systems through programmatic APIs, new security will be required that
can protect the service interfaces and message level communication across
disparate systems,” said Nick Nikols, Vice President of Product Management,
Identity and Security at Novell. “Being able to leverage a shared identity
infrastructure ensures that customers can secure their next generation Web
services in a rigorous and compliant way.”
“Identity is at the heart of strong Web services security
and governance,” said Dimitri Sirota, Vice President Marketing and Alliances,
Layer 7. “Layer 7 and Novell customers can now benefit from an integrated
framework for Web and Web services security.”
