Contemporary e-Business applications comprise of dynamic exten- sible and interoperable collection of services, Web Services and information shared by collaborating entities performing various transactional tasks. Secur- ing these services offerings is therefore of crucial importance. To address secu- rity requirements, there has been a plethora of proposed solutions, ranging from hardware devices and security specifications to software applications. Most of these security solutions are largely technology focused with little or no evalua- tion and integration of policies and procedures of these collaborating entities. This research investigates the use of an approach that integrates documented cross-enterprise policies with current security technology, to enhance the overall security requirements of businesses that decide to use web services. A policy model for enhancing web services security is developed evaluated and presented.
