ObjectSecurity News Update - 06 May 2010

Greetings,

OpenPMF 3.0 is out and is currently being deployed! OpenPMF helps develop, operate and maintain secure applications. It makes application security proactive, manageable, intuitive, cheaper, and less risky. The new version 3.0 extends OpenPMF 2.0 by a number of exciting features (see press release)..

“This major new OpenPMF 3.0 release brings our product to a new level when compared to v2.0, which was released almost 2.5 years ago. We are particularly proud that we were able to significantly extend the scope of OpenPMF to include Cloud computing support and BPM SOA support, and that we were able to put together a low-cost packaged entry-level product version. Important other new features are XACML and Syslog export, support for data driven DDS services, support for a new Web app server, and enhanced policy support. Our free trial version, webinars, webcasts, eBooks, whitepapers, and podcasts will make it easy to try out the new OpenPMF 3.0 version.”

---Ulrich Lang, PhD, co-founder and CEO
