Web Services Security Training Course (NYC - March 10 & 11, 2008)

[Peter Soderling <pete () techsmartgroup com>]

A special two-day training course on SOA & Web Services Security will be
offered in New York City on March 10th & 11th, 2008 by TechSmart Solutions
Group. Internationally recognized software security expert Gunnar Peterson
will lead this course, which has been highly regarded by the SOA/Web
Services community.

Many companies are now seeking to integrate existing systems in order to
implement IT support for present and future business processes.  A SOA
(Services Oriented Architecture) can better shoulder the integration of
disparate applications and the sharing of data. Yet, building a SOA solution
requires different security measures that address the new risks introduced
by web services integration. For instance, traditional security protocols,
such as SSL, do not provide sufficient security for SOA/Web Services.

This two-day course is ideal for IT professionals of all levels whose
organization is looking to implement a SOA or whose clients may be
interested in securing their web services-based applications. Intended for
individuals with a basic understanding of SOA/Web Services, attendees will
learn to identify, define, diagnose, and implement a comprehensive security
strategy. Students will:

 * Understand the real risks in SOA, Web Services, and XML
 * Learn SOA standards and how to use them
 * Be able to architect security services in Web Services and SOA
 * Understand how an attacker looks at Web Services
