Summary

The Web Services manager and the Service Bus allow security and monitoring to be applied to services without modifying their core functionality. These policies may be applied consistently through the policy manager and enforced through the Service Bus, gateways, and agents. This model of security, as a service and as a facet that is applied to existing services, allows for new security standards to be easily incorporated into the SOA infrastructure. In addition, it is possible to monitor the health and performance of groups of services and of individual services, including monitoring for compliance with service-level agreements.
