Forum Systems, a wholly owned subsidiary of Crosscheck Networks, announced the next generation of its flagship XML Gateway fueling faster, more powerful and seamless Web experiences for users.

By removing the identity and security burden from Web sites and composite applications, this unified Content Firewall securely authenticates and authorizes users invoking services, regardless of where the services reside.
