The success of any SOA project requires that one must gain an understanding of the true nature, performance characteristics, and availability of the business transactions that flows in real-time through these highly distributed services and their supporting IT infrastructure. Taking an architectural approach, this session will discuss the requirements for runtime governance in such an environment and the affect that these requirements will have on security. For example, SOA services can be vulnerable to denial-of-service attacks and other problems resulting in costly service level failures. Only the synergy of transaction-oriented operational and security management can achieve visibility into such problems before they grow serious. This session will discuss best practices so that you can be prepared to deliver verifiably reliable and successful services, and effectively triage SOA business transaction failures and risks in real-time.
