This year GeoShield extends his capabilities introducing two major improvements: the Sensor Observation Services protection and the GeoServer Resource Access Manager plug-in.

The SOS protection introduces the definition of permissions for core and transactional profiles. Data managers can now set read permissions for each Observation Offering, and authorize writing permissions to transactional profile requests only to authorized users.

Thanks to the latest GeoServer release (2.1), GeoShield can be directly integrated with the new Resource Access Manager plug-in. This extension give some benefits in term of speed and reliability, GeoShield's proxy capabilities is bypassed, minimizing response time.

All these enhancements, will be presented at the FOSS4G 2011 in Denver.

The presentation will introduce the attenders with GeoShield and the newly developed features throughout a practical demo.
