Advanced specifications that enable one to implement a policy driven fully
interoperable (across vendor products), security infrastructure still has a
bit of a way to go but it is very possible to implement a defense-in-depth
web services security infrastructure right now with the standards and
technologies that are currently in place.

In an enterprise implemenation of a web service infrastructure, security
should not be left (solely) in the hands of the developer but should instead
be considered a cross-cutting concern that should be managed and implemented
as part of the infrastructure.
