http://www.sun.com/security/index.jsp Sun Microsystems Inc.], (NASDAQ: JAVA) develops the technologies that power the global marketplace. Guided by a singular vision -- "The Network is the Computer" -- Sun drives network participation through shared innovation, community development and open source leadership.


Sun provides a diversity of software, systems, services, and microelectronics that power everything from consumer electronics, to developer tools and the world's most powerful datacenters. Their core brands include the Java technology platform, Solaris operating system, the MySQL database management system, StorageTek and the UltraSPARC processor.


They serve consumers and individual developers, alongside the largest global enterprises. Their network computing platforms are used by nearly every sector of society and industry, and power some of the world's best known search, social networking, entertainment, financial services, manufacturing, healthcare, retail, news, energy and engineering companies - broadened by one of the world's largest portfolio of software and service partners.


Until recently, network security has been achieved by risk aversion, but in a changing world, the need to share information has become critical. However government and inter-agency information exchange needs to adhere to information assurance requirements. Sun believes that you can minimise the complexity and cost of appropriate security by designing systemic security into flexible, open architectures that include processes for dynamic assessment of business policy and risk.


Sun has worked with the National Security Agency and other U.S. Military and Intelligence agencies since 2003 to develop role-based solutions for government communities that have isolated, centralized, and distributed network configurations. These solutions provide fast access to critical classified data residing on physically separate networks, while preserving integrity and security thus enabling global sharing of data across various security domains.


Sun has a complete set of security solutions. With our partners, we provide:

  • Secure identities that enable compliance with crucial access management, authorisation, authentication, administration, and auditing of employees, partners, and assets. Sun's solutions support the Liberty Alliance protocols for federated network identity.
  • Secure application services using integrated tools and infrastructures that connect Internet and legacy applications efficiently and flexibly, leveraging Java technology.
  • Secure systems that are proven to meet the integrity, reliability, and availability needs of demanding applications.
