OpenPMF 2.0 - model driven, Eclipse based enterprise security management framework

OpenPMF 2.0 released
OpenpMF 2.0, the first fully model-driven enterprise security management system in the market, is fully integrated into Eclipse, which allows its use from most model driven engineering tools, BPM tools, etc. This phase 0 includes (within Eclipse) a rich policy wizard, run-time monitoring, and support for model driven security model transformations. Phase 1 will be available in November 2007.
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.
