Chapter 1. Project overview

WebSphere MQ is one of the foundation products of the WebSphere family. WebSphere MQ implementations all start small, yet over the years, the number and types of messages flowing through WebSphere MQ networks have grown for most enterprises. As message volumes have grown, the infrastructure supporting these messages has evolved.

This evolution has led to WebSphere MQ becoming the foundation for an enterprise wide, mission critical infrastructure, and supporting mission critical enterprise infrastructure transcends technology. That is why this book takes a hard look at security issues beyond technology.
