  6. We’re not alone “According to the latest Web services "hype cycle" from Gartner, both Web services security standards and the deployment of Web services with security are rushing headlong into the dreaded "Trough of Disillusionment." This means that the greatest levels of hype in these areas are supposedly behind us and the reality of just what can and cannot be done is collectively dawning on us. Taken at face value, this news could be either good or bad. The good news could be that now that the hype is over and we have passed the lofty "Peak of Inflated Expectations," we can all get down to the serious work of putting together workable security solutions and solid security standards to help bring Web services to where they deserve to be. The bad news could be the security components of Web services getting mired in the "Trough of Disillusionment" for too long and losing their appeal for the enterprise.” Michael Mosher, Web Services Journal, Oct 2004. The MSN Top 10

The MSN Top 10
