ObjectSecurity releases model-driven security management ecosystem OpenPMF™ 2.0 (inside Eclipse™ IDE)

(Cambridge/UK – 30 September 2007) – ObjectSecurity, the leading solutions provider and expert for model-driven enterprise security management, SOA security management, secure middleware, and secure information sharing in mission-critical industries today released version 2.0 of their OpenPMF™ Policy Management Framework (www.openpmf.com). OpenPMF 2.0 is the first generic Model Driven Security (MDS) technology in the world, and includes an entitlement-centric authorization management system.

OpenPMF 2.0 is the only generic model-driven security management solution in the market today. OpenPMF 2.0 enables low-complexity and low-maintenance authorization management from within the Eclipse open source IDE. Model-driven security allows you to express consistent security requirements at an intuitive high level of abstraction (rather than at a technical level). Large organizations in many sectors including defense, air traffic control, airports, homeland security, telecoms, banking, and enterprise management are currently very interested in OpenPMF 2.0. This is because the cost-savings are significant because security complexity and policy maintenance are reduced to a minimum.
OpenPMF 2.0 TrustedSOA™ is also the only solution available today that can be used to manage security cost-effectively for Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) in a way that preserves SOA agility. SOA agility is the main selling factor for SOA. OpenPMF 2.0 can of course also be used to protect non-SOA environments. For example it can be integrated into the software development process (OpenPMF 2.0 SecureMDA™), and security for practically any technology can be managed using OpenPMF 2.0.

OpenPMF 2.0 allows you to specify security requirements at an intuitive level, automatically enforce them across your entire IT environment, and monitor security activities – and all this inside Eclipse™ IDE:

- Most flexible, intuitive policies - policy meta-models, governance/compliance
- Unique automatic policy generation using model-driven security
- Most flexible integration - on-demand plug-in development
- Intuitive, model-based usage inside the Eclipse™ IDE
- No vendor lock-in through modelling standards: EMF/UML etc.
- Low-maintenance security support for agile/ad-hoc/adaptive SOA
- No cost hurdle, no risk thanks to software rental option
- Fail-safe design for high robustness
- Support of organisational structures
- Software development (MDA) tool support inside Eclipse™ IDE

OpenPMF 2.0 TrustedSOA™ low-maintenance security management for SOA – OpenPMF 2.0 is also the first product in the market world-wide for low-maintenance security management of agile Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). It is the only solution that can automatically adapt security enforcement when the SOA deployment changes, and is therefore a critical enabler for agile SOA.
OpenPMF 2.0 SecureMDA™ integration into the secure software engineering process – OpenPMF 2.0 can be integrated into the software development/deployment/orchestration process inside your Eclipse™ IDE. It allows software engineers to focus on writing applications while OpenPMF 2.0 automatically generates appropriate security policies.
ObjectSecurity also offers a number of middleware platforms for secure, robust, scalable and high-performance application integration and a distributed 4D virtual reality simulation/testing platform.
