Policy Management for Operational Responsiveness
Managing security and compliance in a service-oriented architecture (SOA) is challenging. Not only are there many "moving parts" in the form of reusable software components exposed to SOA security and compliance issues than traditional applications, there are many security types and standards to mediate and increasing regulations that demand compliance.
Progress® Actional® addresses these issues while reducing IT costs. Actional decouples the SOA policy lifecycle from the service lifecycle to centralize the creation and management of SOA policy for security and compliance while ensuring distributed SOA policy enforcement. This empowers security and compliance experts to author policies once, apply them consistently across the SOA, and guarantee complete coverage for reduced risk. Additional benefits of Actional include:
- Early alerting: Helps mitigate the risk of end-user issues such as performance issues or order fallout resulting in a negative customer experience and negative business ramifications.
- Customizable: Complex policies provide the added benefit of tracking average response, an individual message or both so that you can set policy according to the needs of your business and each end user.
- Easy inheritance and revision: Policy is inherited automatically to newly implemented nodes, and policy revisions are implemented and provisioned without impacting/stopping message flow.
In addition to providing solutions for policy management, Progress Software delivers solutions for application performance management, SOA operations, building a common data model, and service-level management. They also offer a complete SOA infrastructure portfolio designed to give every enterprise the operational responsiveness they need to achieve revenue growth and improved customer satisfaction.
