Latest Release of
CA Identity Suite Strengthens Security and Accelerates Time-to-Value with New
Deployment Options

SINGAPORE, December 1, 2016 – CA Technologies
today announced a new release of CA Identity Suite that includes integration
with CA Privileged Access Manager for governance of privileged accounts and
new, flexible deployment options for agility, speed and ease-of-use in identity
management and access governance helping to save time and save money.

“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. “The latest release of CA
Identity Suite enhances security and time to value by providing privileged user
governance to help mitigate the insider threat, and proven workflow templates
and a new virtual appliance option to accelerate deployment quickly. The
comprehensive business and governance-centric capabilities allow our customers
to focus their time and resources on building new and compelling applications
and services, rather than deploying and integrating the underlying
infrastructure.”

Privileged User Governance Helps Mitigate Insider Threat

CA Identity Suite’s integration with CA Privileged Access Manager adds a layer
of security and compliance measures for 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 privileged users and their roles, activity and access. 

“Gartner believes that significant value is derived from
integrating PAM technologies with other technologies in your IAM portfolio. One
specific opportunity for integration involves PAM and identity governance and
administration (IGA). A combined PAM and IGA solution provides organizations
with increased control, visibility and governance over all user accounts in
their environment, which helps reduce vulnerabilities such as an insider
threat,” wrote Lori Robinson, Gartner analyst, in Securing Privileged Accounts Through PAM and IGA Integration.*

Simplified Deployment and Configuration Delivers Cost Savings,
Scalability

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 meet growing 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 further with 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-installed instances 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 drawn from 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 entire enterprise. 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.
