Attacks on XML applications are expected to increase, but never fear... Forum Systems and Computer Associates have created a device to protect them.
As XML transactions become more common in e-commerce, more information is put at risk from virus attacks.
A CNET article says:
The licensing deal will allow Forum to include CA's eTrust antivirus software in its XML firewall for blocking unwanted traffic into company networks, Forum said on Friday. The product, called Forum XWall, will be able to scan traffic for viruses, worms and other malicious software in applications that use XML code.
"Virus attackers are looking for other ways of getting into the organization. E-mail and the Web are the two dominant forms now and are well-protected," said Bill Mann, vice president of product management at CA. "But XML isn't really protected at the moment."
The product which will range in price from $5,000 to $40,000 will be available in early May.
