Policy Design Tool Description

Resources can be classified according to their business function using multiple taxonomies. Users can be assigned roles that capture their job functions. Thus, the security template policies are captured with business-oriented resource classes and roles for ease of review with the business process owners. Policy Design Tool also enables you to model policies for different platforms and to assess a complete view of the security policy landscape. A number of analysis functions also help ensure that policies are consistent on the business level. The first release of Policy Design Tool supports modeling and analysis of authorization-type policies, also called access control policies. Access control policies are supported for two types of resources: Web Services and data in relational databases. Policies can be exported into the eXtensible Access Control Markup Language (XACML), an OASIS standard with wide acceptance in the IT industry. Policy Design Tool is a new development tool to help you model and analyze high-level security requirements in a business context and create security policy templates in a standard format for use within the IT environment. Policy Design Tool can be used in conjunction with the newly released IBM Tivoli Security Policy Manager (TSPM) for SOA security and application entitlements management. It supports an end-to-end scenario for protecting access to Web Services. After policies have been captured, modeled with roles, and verified using Policy Design Tool they can be exported as policy templates for use by TSPM for application entitlement and SOA security operational policy management. With Policy Design Tool you get a useful utility for the analysis of access control policies.
