Enterprise Identity and Access Management (IAM)

Your organization must be able to answer three simple security questions:

    1. Who is accessing my applications or data?
    2. What are they authorized to do?
    3. Should they have those authorizations?

The tools that allow your organization to answer these questions and maintain control over users and their access make up an Identity and Access Management (IAM) solution.

CA’s IAM solution features an architecture that allows tight integration of user identities with access management policies across all forms of applications and information sources. CA’s IAM solutions focus on three main areas:

    • Identity Lifecycle Management: The effective management and ongoing monitoring of all your users, their roles and access entitlements throughout their entire life cycle.
    • Server Resource Protection: The protection of all your critical server-based resources, and the ability to monitor and audit the security events on all your systems.
    • Secure Web Business Enablement: The ability to expand your business securely on the Web with centralized policy enforcement, identity federation, access management, authentication and identity administration, provisioning and auditing.

CA’s IAM solutions support a wide range of industry standards as a critical part of its architecture, and can be implemented in modules based on your organization’s priorities.

CA’s IAM solution architecture and services are designed to reduce costs while enabling your organization to meet compliance requirements and ensure appropriate levels of security throughout the enterprise. Through its two-layered service architecture, the CA IAM solution is:

    • Complete - Covers the broad range of IT end points from the Web service to the mainframe
    • Integrated - Connects provisioning, identity management, access management and auditing
    • Modular - Can be implemented in steps / pieces based on an organization’s priorities and needs

CA’s IAM solutions automate and centralize the management of users’ identities and access entitlements. As a result, you can reduce security risk, reduce IT costs, enable new business opportunities and drive continuous regulatory compliance.
