ISLANDIA, N.Y., Jan. 17, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- CA Technologies
(CA: NASDAQ) today announced that it has been positioned by
Gartner, Inc. in the Leaders quadrant of two Gartner reports: Magic
Quadrant for Identity and Access Governance (IAG)*, and Magic
Quadrant for User Administration and Provisioning.**
"As data moves to the cloud, identity and access management
grows in importance within organizations. Our team is working to
ensure we deliver the functionality, ease of use, and multiple
choices of delivery – on premise or cloud – that simplify IAM
adoption for our customers," said Mike
Denning, general manager, Security business at CA
Technologies. "We consider our positioning in two IAM-related
Leaders quadrants confirmation that we are delivering on our
mission to take our rich and broad portfolio of security
technologies and deliver unique and transformative IAM capabilities
for our customers."
Magic Quadrant for Identity and Access Governance
According to the report, Magic Quadrant for Identity and Access
Governance, "The IAG market addresses customer requirements that
are beyond identity administration. IAG tools seek to deliver IAM
directly to the business or end user, rather than the operational
IT administrator." Gartner analysts anticipate, "The growing need
for identity and access management governance will cause identity
and access governance solutions to become the lead focus of two out
of three IAM projects by 2013, up from one in three today."
CA Role & Compliance Manager was evaluated for this
report.
Magic Quadrant for User Administration/Provisioning
"User administration solutions manage identities and
their attributes across systems, applications and resources. Buyers
seek to demonstrate regulatory compliance while reducing project
deployment times and costs," analysts wrote in the Magic Quadrant
for User Administration / Provisioning. "By 2016, user
administration solutions will expand functionally to include a
subset of identity and access governance (IAG) functionality as
well as multiple means of delivery (that is, cloud computing)."
Gartner analysts evaluated the following CA IAM solutions for
this report: CA Identity Manager, CA Role & Compliance Manager
and CA User Activity Reporting Module for this report.
