WA1585 SOA for Security Professionals Training and Courseware

Quick Enroll

This 2-day course will introduce you to the world of service orientation and prepare you to identify, define, diagnose, and implement a comprehensive security strategy for a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) initiative. SOA opens up a whole realm of security issues due to its ubiquity, decentralization, distributed, and even federated nature. Students will be exposed to a broad range of service orientation topics and enterprise SOA security subjects, providing a solid foundational understanding of valid and in-valid approaches to designing and implementing SOA security.

Concepts in this course are re-enforced through a combination of group discussion, live demos and daily reviews.
