ISLANDIA, N.Y., Feb. 16, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- CA Technologies
today announced that its CA SiteMinder® Web access management
solution is now an SAP-endorsed business solution. CA SiteMinder
complements the security features in the SAP NetWeaver® technology
platform by controlling user access to SAP® applications and
helping securely deliver essential information to millions of
employees, partners, suppliers and customers.
CA SiteMinder gives customers the ability to manage user
authentication and authorization for critical Web applications,
including SAP business applications. By centralizing the management
of these key services, security silos that typically create
increased security risks and high administration costs can be
eliminated. In addition, customers have a comprehensive report of
user access, simplifying compliance audits. CA SiteMinder also
provides Web single sign-on across the IT environment to help
simplify user access and reduce IT administration costs.
"Moving applications online and into the cloud brings
significant advantages, but it also invites security risks that CA
SiteMinder helps manage," said Mike
Denning, general manager, Security, CA Technologies. "SAP's
endorsement of CA SiteMinder underscores the value our solution
provides and how it helps control who can access Web and portal
applications."
As part of the agreement between CA Technologies and SAP, the
companies will use the same support system for joint customers. To
handle incidents logged by those customers, CA Technologies support
staff and SAP support staff will use the SAP global support
backbone to deliver a collaborative, agile and transparent support
structure.
This endorsement stems from several successful years of SAP and
CA Technologies collaboration. CA SiteMinder, now endorsed by SAP,
was previously certified as "Powered by SAP NetWeaver" technology
platform.
"Collaborating with partners like CA Technologies is key to the
SAP ecosystem strategy to provide additional choices and
flexibility to our customers, including a secure, robust and
comprehensive business application environment," said Sanjay Katyal, vice president, Business
Development and Strategic Alliances, Global Ecosystem &
Channels, SAP AG. "Businesses are demanding a seamless and secure
user experience on-premise, on-demand and on-device. We believe
that CA SiteMinder can deliver an added level of security across
these environments, complementary to SAP strategy for identity and
access management."
Solutions endorsed by SAP AG (NYSE: SAP) are complementary to
SAP software offerings, developed in accordance with SAP
development guidelines, and provide additional choices and
flexibility for businesses running SAP applications.
CA Technologies and SAP have a track record of successful
cooperation, including support of SAP NetWeaver via CA SiteMinder
and CA APM (Application Performance Management, CA Wily
Introscope®) solutions and integration of several CA Technologies
IT management and security solutions with GRC solutions from the
SAP BusinessObjects™ portfolio.
