For example, by allowing applications to access other applications delivered asservices, travel portals can dynamically access an airline’s reservation systems; online credit agenciescan generate reports on an individual’s credit rating; and Web mapping services can query disparatelocation services to generate high quality digital maps. While HTML continues to be the lingua franca ofthe Internet, XML and related Web 2.0 technologies are increasingly at the root of emerging Web-basedservice offerings.However, ensuring a high level of security and performance for XML traffic requires specialized controland monitoring capabilities. The combined Layer 7 and Imperva’s solution gives enterprise IT managersthe security and visibility they require to manage XML traffic, ensuring they can properly govern howXML-based Web services, Software As A Service (SaaS) and cloud offerings get consumed inside theorganization, and how enterprise services get exposed to external departments, customers andpartners.By deploying the Layer 7 XML Gateway in conjunction with Imperva’s SecureSphere Web ApplicationFirewall, organizations can benefit from comprehensive content protection and visibility for both XML-based Web Services traffic and HTML-based Web traffic.Securing the EnterpriseThe Layer 7 XML Gateway minimizes risks associated with the use of XML inside the enterprise. Byimplementing a Gateway at the edge of the enterprise, organizations are protected from theconsumption of potentially harmful XML content, and secured against private data leaving theorganization via rogue Web services calls.Optimizing PerformanceXML-based communications can be bandwidth and computationally expensive, potentially impactingquality of service and even customer/partner Service Level Agreements (SLAs) around availability ofapplication services. The Layer 7 XML Gateway can enforce SLAs through monitoring, rerouting andthrottling/choking to support IT operations requirements.Gaining VisibilityIn order to proactively troubleshoot and prepare for capacity planning, enterprise IT managers need toknow how services are performing with respect to internal users, as well as external service consumerdemand. The Layer 7 XML Gateway provides a low cost, easy-to-deploy solution for monitoring andreporting on the usage of XML-based services.Layer 7–ImpervaSynergyLayer 7’s XML Gateway deployed in conjunction with the SecureSphere Web Application Firewallprovides comprehensive, in-depth analysis of all digital content entering and leaving an organization’snetwork. The SecureSphere Web Application Firewall delivers protection for HTTP data andautomatically profiles expected behavior by inspecting HTTP requests. SecureSphere Web ApplicationFirewall then redirects to Layer 7’s XML Gateway for XML data inspection. Once installed, theSecureSphere Web Application Firewall identifies XML traffic and automatically routes it to the Layer 7Gateway for further inspection n and processing. Specific policies for securing, managing and monitoringXML can be defined using the Layer 7 Policy Manager.
