In this podcast, which features highlights from the webinar Minimizing the Risk of Information Security Breaches, Best Practices for SOA Governance and Compliance, experts in the field grapple with today’s data security questions. One of the moderators, Andreas Antonopoulos, senior vice president and founding partner of Nemertes Research, says that conventional thinking is to keep outsiders out and insiders in, because outsiders cannot be trusted and insiders can. “Unfortunately, that’s not the case anymore,” says Antonopoulos. “Not only can you not trust insiders, but also many of your insiders are roaming around all over the world connecting through mobile systems.” So, what makes a good SOA platform? Dutta Satadip, product manager at HP Software’s SOA Center joins us to discuss. And for case use scenarios, we turn to Dr. Clifford Grossner, of security solutions marketing at Alcatel-Lucent.
