Review XML Security Technology Landscape Report / ZapThink, LLC:Key Findings: The next roadblock on the path to Web Services adoption is security. Security is today's key enabler for Web Services. The XML and Web Services security market will reach $4. 4 billion in 2006, which will represent 65% of the total authentication, authorization, and administration security market. This growth represents an average compound annual growth rate of 300%. Web Services offer great potential for B2B communication and integration, but the lack of robust security and manageability solutions currently inhibit the ability for companies to conduct business with each other via Web Services over the Internet. The combination of adequate funding, solid business models, seasoned management teams, and high quality engineering staff leads some startups to offer surprisingly robust XML and Web Services security solutions. The best positioned companies to be profitable in the XML and Web Services security space are those companies that already have deep technical knowledge of application level security technologies, coupled with a solid customer base. There will be a spike in demand for Web Services security solutions within the next 12 months. Web Services will not play a major role in transactional environments in 2002-2003. [+]
The 2003 timeframe won't see many multiple-company B2B Web Services, because companies will choose to implement B2B Web Services on a point-to-point basis. Existing 3A security vendors will incorporate XML and Web Services into their product lines, so by 2006, most 3A security products will support or provide XML and/or Web Services security. This report must be placed into the context of an overall security strategy. Simply securing all of a company's Web Services alone can only provide a false sense of security. Enterprises must institute policies that apply to their entire enterprise network (including participants invited from outside), and administer that security in a hierarchical fashion. Next-generation firewalls must be capable of looking at the content of XML streams, and the security mechanisms for such data must be part of that content. Companies planning on using Web Services across the firewall will necessarily have to resolve the resulting security issues first. Table of Contents: I. Report Scope II.
