April 30, 2010 – ObjectSecurity and Promia, Inc. successfully completed a critical phase for the US Navy under Promia’s Raven™ engineering and support program, delivering an advanced security architecture that emphasizes XML information assurance across Navy networks. ObjectSecurity’s OpenPMF™ policy management was seamlessly integrated with Promia Raven™ XML exchange and scalable Authorization-Based Access Control (ZBAC), enhancing Navy network protection. Dr. Ulrich Lang, CEO of ObjectSecurity, called the successful integration of OpenPMF with Raven a significant milestone in high-assurance SOA and Cloud security, while Promia’s CEO, John Mullen, praised the collaboration with ObjectSecurity, NuParadigm, and HP Labs for effectively advancing Navy objectives. Utilizing Promia Raven/Blocker/Notebook, ObjectSecurity OpenPMF, and HP Labs ZBAC, the team expanded security services with minimal system impact. The project provided the Navy with a comprehensive Information Assurance (IA) platform, supporting the secure operation of Navy SOA and Cloud applications and delivering enhanced cyber situational awareness. Key achievements include the establishment of a robust trust architecture, effective policy enforcement tools, lifecycle training, and dynamic IA management. Technical deliverables included a secure development environment, a trusted runtime platform with full-stack protection, and a global policy management system. This initiative has been essential for the Navy’s SOA and Cloud adoption, enabling agile change, rapid certification, and flexible policy management.
