FMT Octopus - SOA
FMT Octopus™ is a must-have component of any SOA implementation. Through its unique one-touch capability, it manages and deploys new or edited security policies and business functions across multiple applications from a single console. Just as easily, it can remove policies across all connected applications.
The front-end middleware plug-in solution extracts real-time information from every Web Service transaction by turning XML information into data elements. It examines information (some of which would formerly would have gone undetected) in isolation and historical and real-time context to:
- Deliver competitive differentiation
- Enhance operational efficiency
- Improve application security
- Mitigate fraud and risk
- Adhere to compliance regulations
- Build trust and confidence in the online channel
In an SOA deployment, FMT Octopus wraps itself around applications to measure, manage and manipulate a Web Service request. It also serves as a broker that injects real-time agility and control at any time throughout the service initiation and interaction.
FMT Octopus can track all activity between e-businesses. It collects data for numerous purposes including for no repudiation, chargebacks, billing and metering.
Within an SOA environment, it wraps around applications to add functionality to otherwise static products. And, it can monitor requests and gather information about both local and remote SOA clients and their activities - without any code changes.
Rather than only storing information, the solution can filter incoming data and feed it into BAM consoles. E-commerce organisations can track business interaction and resource consumption to obtain a real-time view of the company across enterprise processes.
FMT Octopus helps organisations adhere to compliance regulations and recommendations. The flexible solution can automatically see all service calls and compare information to watchlists and other compliance policies to determine transaction legitimacy.
By monitoring each request - both in isolation and context - FMT Octopus can help mitigate fraud, terrorist financing, corporate espionage and money laundering.
FMT Octopus wraps around applications to contextually control functionality - without any code changes required.
With a graphical rules engine, FMT Octopus enables organisations to quickly and easily add, limit and secure features and functions from a single point. It does this in real-time without needing to stop or withdraw the application from the network.
Using FMT Octopus to externally manage and control functionality and security policies adds agility to an SOA environment. There's no longer a need to change multiple applications individually. Organisations now can simply change policies from a centralised repository.
FMT Octopus enhances security policies and SOA procedures by deploying some behaviours in front of the application. This takes place before a Web Service call is accepted or processed. It links agility to an intelligent security barrier that guards against current - and future - transaction threats.
The contextually aware solution unobtrusively empowers organisations to protect their SOA network while enabling organisations to continue using existing application security.
