CA Technologies has unveiled its identity-centric security portfolio that is targeted towards protecting and enabling the hybrid enterprise, from cloud, distributed and mobile to mainframe.
A new release of CA Privileged Access Manager helps control privileged user access to dynamic VMware NSX® environments. Updates to CA Identity Suite help simplify identity governance for all users, and a new product, CA Data Content Discovery, helps address compliance demands by discovering and classifying mainframe data.
With these new capabilities, CA is improving how businesses protect against security breaches, while helping them to more confidently implement the digital systems and applications that power the application economy.
This release of CA Privileged Access Manager offers privileged access management interoperability with VMware NSX, VMware’s network virtualization platform for the software-defined data center. Combining the built-in security capabilities of VMware NSX with the security capabilities of CA Privileged Access Manager helps secure system access for VMware NSX administrators and helps improve operational efficiencies.
“This release of CA Privileged Access Manager, and its ability to control privileged user access and protect privileged credentials, allows customers to extend the benefits of the VMware NSX network virtualization platform and micro-segmentation,”said Steve Firestone, CA Technologies senior vice president and general manager, Security business. “This product helps reinforce CA’s leadership position in this market and helps organizations protect the systems of today’s application economy.”
“The privileged user security capabilities in CA Privileged Access Manager will complement the strong security services provided by VMware NSX,” said Scott Clinton, senior director, partner product management, Networking and Security Business Unit, VMware. “CA Privileged Access Manager with VMware NSX enables control over operational tasks and can give customers added confidence that they have the best of both – VMware NSX network and security micro-segmentation and granular access control.”
