The OmniAccess 8550 Web Services Gateway (WSG) is a service-oriented network appliance providing the security (run-time policy enforcement and audit trail) that meets governance obligations in support of effective internal and external process automation.  OmniAccess 8550 WSG can serve as a critical component for U.S. Federal Government agencies that need to:

• Make data available when and where it is needed within an organization

Benefits include:

• Ensure compliance with corporate governance policy and government information privacy legislation
• Enhanced security through single point of control to enable secure automated workflow among business partners
• Consistent enterprise-wide enforcement of policy per credentialed user
• Enables scalable and reliable reuse of existing IT systems
• Protection from attacks and malicious XML messages
• Easily managed: integrates with existing management platforms
• Hardened appliance for scalability, reliability and compliance with security standards
