Forum Systems President & CEO Wes Swenson Selected to Speak on Web Services Security Panel at America's Growth Capital 2005 Information Security Conference


Conference: America's Growth Capital 2005 Information Security Conference

Date / Time: Monday, Feb. 14, 2005 at 2:00 PM Pacific

Location: The Argent Hotel in San Francisco

Speaker: Wes Swenson, President & CEO of Forum Systems

Topic of Expertise: Securing Web Services



Details of Panel Session: Web services is computing, networking and security gone granular. Applications, or rather their constituent parts, go modular as Web services and are routed intact, often automatically and autonomously, as secure data or transactions (not as packets or sessions). These transactions need to be authenticated, authorized, their integrity assured, audited and logged etc., suggesting the need for a flexible, scalable, granular Web services security infrastructure. In addition, the deployment of Web services raises multiple security concerns, from exposing critical systems to Web services infiltration and potential hack, attack or corruption to compromising the integrity or content of the Web services themselves.
