Summary

COM+ security offers the component developer a wide spectrum of security support, from simple and administrative role-based security to advanced programmatic security. Security is all about tradeoffs: performance versus risk mitigation, ease of use versus flexibility, and ease of administration versus potential attacks. Regardless of where you find yourself in this spectrum, you will learn to appreciate the elegance and power of COM+ security.

You can also combine COM+ security with the high-level COM+ services described in the next chapters: COM+ queued components and COM+ loosely coupled events.
