I thought that it could perform SOAP protection on XML.

Lori MacVittie responds:

Actional's product was considered, but it fits into the management arena more than the security one. Many Web services management products are including security components by necessity, but security is not their core competency nor their focus.

Actional, AmberPoint, Confluent and Digital Evolution are prominent players in Web services management. We plan to test Web services management products next year and hope to invite those companies to participate.

Check Point does perform some SOAP protections on XML data. I've spoken to Check Point representatives about the company's product, and we'll be sure to include it next time around.
