Layer seven Technologies, the leader in SOA security and governance, today made an announcement about several new deals with the U.S. Fed Aviation Administration and the U.S. Dept of Transport . These awards represent a continuation of Layer 7′s expansion in working with the FAA and executive agencies round the world.
Layer seven, selected as a Qualified Seller on the FAA’s procurements list, has today been awarded the 1st gateway technology purchase to be used in the FAA’s System Wide Info Management ( SWIM ) Program. Layer seven’s SecureSpan XML Networking Gateway will secure application services designed for the State Airspace System’s traffic management program.. In addition, the FAA’s Surveillance and Broadcasting Service ( SBS ) Program Office has chosen Layer seven to secure and rule its imperative Web Service operations.
The SBS program is an essential part of the effort to radically change the nation’s air traffic control system from radar-based to a system that uses exact location-based info from the worldwide satellite positioning network. A 3rd deal also finished this week is from the Dept of Transport’s Fed Road Administration ( FHWA ).
The FHWA has acquired Layer seven’s SecureSpan Virtual Appliance for secure Cross Agency Information Sharing with the FAA and other state agencies.. These gateway deployments from Layer seven are critical elements of the FAA’s Next- Generation Air Transport System ( NextGen ) . The new system, which is intended to improve situational awareness for pilots, brings more information, systems, purchasers and service providers into the process. Layer seven SecureSpan Gateways provide the power to countenance transactions, enforce authentication and authorisation policies and monitor services in real-time.
According to the FAA, as documented in their gateway technology necessities for the SWIM program, “Security is a major issueThe FAA must defend against these threats. An XML gateway server may act as a security stand in for the Application Servers and Services Boxes by performing the security-related functionality in their place. If Application Servers and Services Boxes delegate security to an XML gateway, they should guarantee all Web Services transactions go thru the XML gateway.”
