Layer 7 Expands European Customer Base With [ipt]

Layer 7 Technologies, the leader in SOA security and governance, today announced the continued expansion of its partnership with Swiss engineering firm [ipt] (Innovation Process Technology). Since teaming up with Layer 7 as a reseller, [ipt] has won several significant deals in SOA security and governance, including AXA Group, CSS Insurance, Visana and Swisscom. [ipt] plans to extend its success into new areas, including securing cloud deployments for its customers.

"It's critical that organizations ensure that their applications are secure and properly governed wherever they reside," said Peter Graef, managing partner, [ipt]. "With Layer 7, we're able to provide comprehensive policy creation and lifecycle management along with the flexibility and quick deployment organizations require."

Layer 7 Technologies is at the forefront of security and governance for application services, no matter where they reside--in the network, Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), SOA and the cloud. Layer 7's SecureSpan(TM) line of products offers run-time governance including policy enforcement, monitoring and auditing, routing and validation, lifecycle management and deployment capabilities.

"We're excited to further expand our presence in Europe and pursue new opportunities with [ipt]," said Dimitri Sirota, vice president, Channels and Alliances, Layer 7 Technologies. "As more organizations are looking to expand into the cloud, it's more important than ever that they have a solid foundation to build upon. Working with [ipt], we can ensure that organizations have the tools they need to expand safely and securely and properly govern their existing applications."

Later this week, Layer 7 and [ipt] will be speaking and exhibiting at the SOA Symposium, October 22-23 in Rotterdam, Netherlands. Layer 7 is a Platinum Sponsor and will be speaking on the topic "Enabling Hybrid Enterprise/Cloud SOA" as well as highlighting at its booth many of its newer solutions such as the cloud-based Amazon Machine Image and the recently announced Oracle Service Bus appliance.
