Achieves Key Milestones with Oracle(R) Identity Management for Delivering
Flexible Architecture Designed to Improve Security and Business Agility
REDWOOD SHORES, Calif., April 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
-- Today at the RSA Conference 2008, Oracle will outline its vision for
Service-Oriented Security.
-- By decoupling hard-coded security features from enterprise applications
to create reusable, standards-based security services and protocols
which any application can consume, Service-Oriented Security enables
organizations to simplify and centralize several critical security
processes including authentication, authorization, user administration,
role management, identity virtualization and governance, and
entitlement management, as well as audit and control.
-- Oracle's Service-Oriented Security encompasses four IT processes --
development, deployment, administration and governance. To date, the
company has delivered key milestones associated with each of these
components including:
-- Development: Identity Governance Framework -- a multi-vendor
standard proposal, spearheaded by Oracle, that provides a
service-oriented, privacy-aware architecture for developers to
access identity data while adhering to usage policies. Oracle, in
conjunction with the Liberty Alliance, has delivered the first open
source component of the proposed standard.
-- Deployment: General availability of Oracle(R) Role Manager --
software, based on a service-enabled architecture that allows
organizations to centrally model, define and manage a repository for
business roles and relationships, which can then be used to drive
role-based access control, provisioning and approvals across
business applications.
-- Administration: Beta release of Oracle Fine Grained Authorization --
software designed to externalize hard-coded authorization policies
from heterogeneous enterprise applications. The controlled beta
preview complements Oracle's comprehensive Identity and Access
Management software that helps enable customers to administer the
access rights of users as they interact with business applications
today.
-- Governance: General availability of Oracle Application Access
Controls Governor 8.0 -- latest release of control monitoring
software that leverages an externalized Service-Oriented approach to
provide segregation of duties analysis and enforcement for
heterogeneous enterprise application environments.
-- Historically, organizations "bolted" security solutions on to their
enterprise applications, a strategy that often hindered business
agility. With Service-Oriented Security, organizations can now
centralize security solutions in a more flexible security architecture.

"With today's announcement, Oracle is paving the road for
Service-Oriented Security," said Thomas Kurian, senior vice president,
Oracle Server Technologies. "For too long companies have struggled with
implementing, managing and maintaining separate security models for each
individual application in their IT environment. Service-Oriented Security
aims to abstract these fragmented and hard-coded policies by providing a
standards-based, architectural model to centralize the management of these
silos."
