v-Sentry – Full spectrum secure Web and XML delivery

From Web to XML
Service Oriented Architectures now enable organisations to leverage IT infrastructure assets and build bridges between heterogeneous applications. The business gain is tremendous, with accelerated ability to service legacy, current and future application needs through Web Service interfaces using SOAP and XML.
Simultaneously, enterprises must manage web application threats, prevent against malicious XML, implement new standards such as WS Security and, they also aspire to perform these services via a single and global solution.

A single solution for full application management
v-Sentry is a full Application Layer gateway that protects both HTML applications and XML and Web Services. The combination of Web Application Security and Web Services Security within a sole device affords numerous benefits, such as a favourable impact on costs, improved flexibility towards evolving and comprehensive strategies and a reduction in the risks associated with web delivery.

v-Sentry, business confidence through application enablement.
