  4 Why Do ApplicationsNeed Security? Businesses must ensure that the valuable information they store and make available through software applications and Web services is secure. Locked away and protected from unauthorized users and malicious attackers, protected resources — such as credit card information or Social Security numbers — must still be accessible to authorized legitimate users and systems in order to conduct business transactions.

  7 In most casesthe above features were accessible only to expert Mule developers who are very familiar with the Spring Security framework. Anypoint Enterprise Security expands the types of security available to apply to Mule applications and, through its accessibility in Studio, makes security features accessible to a broader range of skilled developers. Compiled to form an easily-accessible, user-friendly collection, Anypoint Enterprise Security offers developers a clear, structured method for adding security to Mule ESB applications. Developers can easily drag-and-drop one or more security features into Mule flows in Studio, Mule ESB’s graphical user interface (GUI), and can find configuration support in Mule documentation.
