This chapter covers the processes, tools, and standards necessary to develop the right solution for your organization. Many of the topics build on other technologies and industry specifications. Implementing any one specification does not mean a Web service cannot be compromised. Even implementing multiple specifications will not guarantee security but will make a breach harder.

We have seen how security can impact the overall design of a Web service, what standards are involved, and how Java can be applied. It is good practice to always assume the worst-case, because eventually you will be proven correct. Careful attention to the specifications mentioned in this chapter will provide benefits now and in the future.
