Layer 7 Technologies

Layer 7 Technologies is the market leader for XML security, SOA Governance and Web services. We offer enterprises, service providers and federal customers a powerful set of XML appliances and software to secure, simplify and scale their applications.

Web services are applications that can expose their functionality to other applications over the Internet using standards based XML data formats like SOAP, REST, AJAX, and RSS. Modern service oriented application integration models and Web oriented application delivery models depend on effectively addressing the performance, security, complexity, reliability and availability issues inherent in sharing Web services with other applications.

Layer 7 Technologies therefore aims to provide the essential application oriented security and networking infrastructure to enable Service-oriented and Web-oriented architectures (i.e. SOA and Web 2.0) that are central to the next wave of Internet and software innovation.

Founded in 2003, Layer 7 operates in the US, Canada and Europe. Our customers include leading insurance, banking, telecom and government organizations. The company is venture backed by leading Canadian and US investors.
