Many web apps are developed and used by companies on a daily basis. While these add value to enterprises, increased use of apps also pose security risks. The enterprise would need to ensure that only authorized users have access to these applications and that sensitive data is not exposed and misused by unauthorized parties. To enable this, application developers would need to ensure security in addition to developing the application’s business logic. As a result, the challenge for the enterprise would be maintaining several user accounts for each application; on the other hand, users would need to memorize long lists of passwords.

WSO2 App Manager provides a simple app management solution for both application developers and application users. This webinar will focus on how you can

  • Secure web applications and implement SSO between web applications
  • Use XACML policies for fine-grained security in web application resources
