CA Technologies has announced a new release of CA Identity Suite that includes integration with CA Privileged Access Manager.
“Identity and access management technology is crucial to enabling secure and controlled digital transformation initiatives, and needs to be a top priority for all organizations,”said Stephen Miles, chief technology officer, Asia Pacific & Japan, CA Technologies.
CA Identity Suite’s integration withCA Privileged Access Manager adds a layer of security and compliance measuresfor privileged users. The integration addresses the need for consistent governance processes and a holistic view of all user access – privileged or not. With capabilities to manage access certifications, requests, provisioning and de-provisioning, CA Identity
Suite helps ensure the practice of “least privilege” applies to privileged users so they only have the access needed to do to their jobs. It also helps prevent fraudulent or erroneous actions with the ability to run segregation of duties checks on privilegedusers and their roles, activity and access.
New deployment tools include a virtual appliance and proven, pre-configured user scenarios that provide CA Identity Suite customers with an enhanced user experience and the ability to meetgrowing security and compliance needs quickly at a lower cost.
In a survey of more than 100 CA Identity Suite Users, 70 percent report that using CA Identity Suite has reduced costs more than 25 percent.The new virtual appliance reduces costs even furtherwith installation and configuration time going from days to minutes so the solution is up and running faster to support business and compliance needs. Organizations also can avoid high recurring software licensing costs with the appliance providing pre-installedinstances of an operating system, application server and directory.
Complementing the virtual appliance in driving fast time-to-value, the latest release of CA Identity Suite includes Deployment Xpress – a marketplace of pre-configured use case scenarios drawnfrom hundreds of deployments. Instead of developing common identity management scenarios from scratch, the pre-packaged use cases meet most customer needs for common, consistent identity management services and are easily and quickly deployed across the entireenterprise.
What can take weeks to configure with other solutions can be done in just a few days with CA Identity Suite, even if customers want to do customization on approval workflows or branding, claims the company.
