The Web Services Interoperability Organization has promoted a key security document that was approved by its member community.
WS-I officials Monday said the organization's "Security Challenges, Threats and Countermeasures" document had reached "Final Material" status and is available for enterprises to use to identify threats and security challenges in their Web services environments.
According to WS-I, the challenges listed in the document describe security challenges, such as ensuring data integrity and confidentiality. The document also details 10 threats, including denial-of-service attacks, message alteration and message replay, and lists countermeasures to the various threats. It also features usage scenarios and solutions, WS-I officials said.
