Research and Markets : Introduction of 2005’s Security Management Report covering approaches such as Service-Oriented Architectures and the Enterprise Service Bus

Dublin - Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c22642) has announced the addition of Security Management Report to their offering

The typical organisation is now extremely complex, with dozens of different applications, databases, and processes all trying to interoperate at once. Although the ideal scenario would be that all these different pieces would come together and act as a single, well-oiled machine, in reality the picture is very different – the pieces of the puzzle are more likely to interfere with each other, causing system failures and crashes, than they are to mesh together. This is a serious business problem, and various approaches have tried to solve it – some of the most recent involve the use of advanced technologies and business models, such as Service-Oriented Architectures and the Enterprise Service Bus.

Deployment of integration is a serious corporate responsibility, and this Report will be of interest to various C-level executives, as well as providing much-needed support to the management teams with the responsibility of making the strategy work. Topics include definitions of the advances that have been made in the integration space, including assessment of how organisations can plan for greater returns on their investment.

Key Findings
- The introduction of Service Oriented Architectures (SOAs) has created a focus of integration that takes process rather than information as a primary driver.
- A SOA is a conceptual architectural model and as such should be seen as a way of helping to create a more responsive and proactive organisation, rather than a technology solution.
- Just as the Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) model has subsumed some of the functionality of other integration related technologies, so it will itself become an element of larger integration technology solution.
- The reliance placed on host systems within an organisation should not preclude the bringing of these technology assets into the larger framework.
- The first aspect of creating an integration strategy has to be discovering the total assets that exist within the organisational environment.
- Simply because there are new architectural models available, this does and should not preclude the use of existing technologies.
- The most effective integration strategy will recognise that different integration technologies all have a role to play.
- Security in a highly distributed component-based infrastructure requires a different security strategy, but this should not be considered a barrier to implementing such an infrastructure.
- Although process is now becoming the primary driver for many organisations the role of information and effective information models must not be ignored.
- Many of the technologies introduced during the past few years are coming together into a more cohesive whole.
