The CA IAM r12, a new version of CA's identity and access management solution claims to help customers more securely and efficiently enable their businesses with SOA and Web services.
CA IAM r12 provides the identity lifecycle management with access management, workflow automation, delegated administration, reporting, federation, and other capabilities. These capabilities are required by IT organizations to efficiently and securely deliver critical business services and provide internal and external users with an enhanced customer experience-regardless of platform.
The new version claims to:
* Enhances security controls for emerging SOA architectures and other application architectures on both distributed and mainframe platforms.
* Facilitates the extension of IAM capabilities to all business services across the enterprise to support policy-based security and governance.
* Eases regulatory compliance and governance by automating IAM-related controls, providing security policy analysis and comprehensive reporting.
* Increases inter-enterprise business enablement through enhanced identity federation.
* Provides support for IPv6 and FIPS PUB 140-2 for added security.
"CA IAM is an essential component of an integrated approach to IT management. As IT organizations are called upon to provide a wider range of services to more users and user communities, and as IT security controls come under increased regulatory scrutiny, the management of identities and access rights is becoming more challenging than ever," said Dave Hansen, senior vice president and general manager of CA's security management business unit. "CA IAM r12 addresses this challenge by empowering IT to more effectively and efficiently manage access to data and applications, even in SOA and Web services environments."
CA is rolling out CA IAM r12 in phases. The first phase features CA SOA Security Manager that provides identity-based Web services security-including authentication, authorization, auditing and protection against XML threats-all in a single integrated solution.
"At the same time as it accelerates business innovation and adaptability, SOA also presents serious new management, governance, and security challenges, "said Robin Bloor, partner of Hurwitz & Associates. "To successfully meet these challenges, and fully capitalize on SOA's potential benefits, IT organizations must adopt best practices and supporting technologies that ensure centralized, policy-based security management for an increasingly dynamic and modular set of IT services."
