CA Technologies bags recognition as a leader in IAM

CA Technologies has announced that it has been named as a “Leader” in The Forrester Wave: Identity and Access Management Suites, Q3 2013. Forrester analysts evaluated nine identity and access management (IAM) suites against 16 criteria to help security and risk professionals select the right solution for their enterprise, business-to-business and consumer-facing IAM deployments. The CA Technologies suite that was evaluated included CA SiteMinder, CA IdentityMinder, CA GovernanceMinder and CA CloudMinder.
 
Mike Denning, Sr. VP & GM, Security, CA Technologies, stated, Identity has become the new security perimeter. With the adoption of cloud services and global collaboration with customers and partners from multiple devices, organizations are operating with a hybrid IT infrastructure and must rely on IAM to protect their business. We feel Forrester’s assessment of our broad and integrated IAM suite highlights important strengths, particularly our ability for customers to seamlessly move between on-premises and cloud-based IAM architectures to support their hybrid IT environments.
 
In this evaluation, CA Technologies was top-ranked in the Strategy category, and tied for the highest score in Market Presence.
