With more than 150 customers across 6 continents, and successful partnerships with some of the
largest ISVs and resellers in the industry, Layer 7 Technologies is the leader in SOA and cloud security
and governance. Our award-winning SecureSpan™ family of XML Gateways feature sophisticated
runtime governance, enterprise-scale management and industry-leading XML security. Our
CloudSpan™ family enables enterprises and service providers to securely consume cloud services, as
well as protect and control their own applications deployed in public and private clouds. Founded in
2002, Layer 7 has a history of helping organizations address their security, visibility and governance
issues by enabling them to control, manage and adapt their Web services, no matter where they
originate – in the enterprise or in the cloud.
Connect, Protect and Control Services in the Cloud
Cloud computing is transforming how enterprises consume computing, storage and application
services. While many organizations recognize the value proposition around Software as a Service
(SaaS) and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), they also recognize that there are a number of
technical and business concerns (such as data security, application performance, and cloud provider
SLAs around availability) that need to be resolved before widespread adoption can occur.
Layer 7 is helping to eliminate the barriers to cloud use by allowing enterprises to regain control
over how they consume SaaS applications, deploy their applications in the cloud, or expose their
applications to third parties from private and public clouds.
CloudSpan for Cloud – Securing Cloud-based SOA
The Layer 7 family of CloudSpan products addresses the security and connectivity issues associated
with enterprise adoption of public and private clouds. By implementing CloudSpan, enterprise
architects can connect, protect and control the way they consume and share cloud-based services.
Layer 7 can also help service providers monetize the cloud by providing core infrastructure that
streamlines the on-boarding of customers; delivers industry-leading security; and makes it easier
for third-party developers to deliver value-added, revenue-generating services via cloud platforms
from VMware, Redhat, Citrix or CA.
• CloudConnect: Simplify Single Sign-On (SSO) and integration to SaaS applications and
cloud-based services
• CloudProtect: Implement DMZ-level security for applications deployed in public and private
clouds
• CloudControl: Securely expose application services to third parties from private and public
clouds; simplify how Telecoms, SaaS, PaaS and IaaS providers expose their provisioning,
application and data APIs to external partners, large customers, white label resellers, etc.
• Enterprise Service Manager: Simplify service promotion from development to test to production
to the cloud, while helping to monitor the health and performance of your SOA.
• Policy SDK: Extend the functionality of Layer 7’s products to handle specific protocols, unique
data types, and integrate with custom products.
