SOUTHFIELD ? CA has released a much improved version of its Identity and Access Management software with the integration of CA SiteMinder and CA Single Sign-On products.
The integration provides seamless single sign-on across the extended enterprise ? including Web, client/server, mainframe, and federated environments ? enabling organizations to reduce costs, strengthen security, and facilitate adherence to regulatory compliance.
Single sign-on grants users access to applications or systems without requiring users to juggle multiple usernames and passwords or re-enter their credential information each time they access an application.
?Enterprise customers require secure single sign-on (SSO) solutions that span all business applications regardless of the hosting platform, said Phil Schacter, vice president and group service director, Burton Group. ?CA has made great progress towards providing the benefits of an integrated SSO solution that is part of a comprehensive and easily auditable approach to identity and access management. SSO solutions enable stronger password policies and the flexibility to deploy multi-factor authentication systems in a phased approach with minimal impact on existing applications.?
CA SiteMinder provides a centralized security infrastructure for managing user authentication and access across internal and external websites. CA Single Sign-On provides simplified and secure end-user access to legacy applications, databases, and client/server applications.
?The extension of single sign-on across multiple platforms, organizations, and generations of business systems provides tremendous value to both end-users and security administrators,? said Bill Bartow, senior vice president of Identity and Access Management at CA. ?By addressing the full range of single sign-on capabilities, CA is uniquely able to meet the increasingly complex needs of today?s extended enterprise.?
CA SiteMinder and CA Single Sign-On are part of the CA Identity and Access Management Suite, which also includes identity administration, user provisioning, user directory, identity federation, and Web services security. The CA IAM Suite provides customers with the industry?s most complete and integrated identity and access management capabilities, enabling them to securely manage the broadest range of IT resources ? including mainframe, distributed, Internet and mobile infrastructures.
