CA Technologies Streamlines Identity and Access Management for the Hybrid Enterprise with Latest Rollout of CA CloudMinder
12 Février 2013 - 3:00PM
Business Wire
CA Technologies (NASDAQ: CA) today announced the next rollout of
its CA CloudMinderTM identity and access management (IAM) service
solution. With extended out-of-the-box support for social
identities and additional on-premise and cloud applications such as
Microsoft Office 365TM, CA CloudMinder helps organizations
strengthen customer relationships, while streamlining how they
manage users and their access for greater operational and cost
efficiencies.
CA CloudMinder provides enterprise-grade IAM for both
cloud-based or on-premise applications in a highly scalable
multi-tenant IAM as-a-Service solution. The three components of CA
CloudMinder can be deployed individually or together in a single,
integrated IAM service:
- CA CloudMinder Advanced
Authentication protects against unapproved and unauthorized
access using multiple forms of strong authentication and risk
analysis to validate a user’s identity.
- CA CloudMinder Identity
Management provides user provisioning and de-provisioning to a
broad set of on-premise applications and cloud services as well as
comprehensive user management capabilities. With the ability to
operate and synchronize with existing on-premise identity stores
such as Active Directory or other LDAP-compliant directories, CA
CloudMinder Identity Management leverages existing technologies for
faster deployment.
- CA CloudMinder Single Sign-On
(SSO) supports today’s extended and hybrid enterprise with
reliable identity federation in a unified, cloud-based single
sign-on solution. Leveraging CA SiteMinder® technology, CA
CloudMinder Single Sign-On is scalable and controls access for
millions of users from within or outside an organization.
Companies have seen the benefits that IAM as-a-service can
provide. “In one test, CA CloudMinder allowed a team to accomplish
in just three days what had taken almost two months of building,
installing, configuring and testing with an on-premise approach,”
said Drew Koenig, president, CA Security Global User Community.
“That company estimated it could employ CA CloudMinder for a
reduced cost and get three IAM capabilities versus just one plus
free up staff time. By not having to work on maintaining the
on-premise infrastructure, the team can focus more on strategic
identity initiatives.”
Leveraging CA Technologies leading IAM technology and more than
a decade of experience providing Authentication as-a-Service, CA
CloudMinder provides a single source of identity and access control
across the hybrid enterprise and drives cost efficiencies through
speed of deployment, predictability of expense and reduced
infrastructure and management needs.
“Identity and access management demands are evolving as
organizations employ different ways to save money and grow the
business, such as incorporating cloud services, adopting
bring-your-own-device policies and supporting social identities as
a way to get closer to the customer,” said Mike Denning, general
manager, Security business at CA Technologies. “This evolution and
customer demand drove our vision for CA CloudMinder to be able to
function as that single bridge that manages the identities and
access for employees, partners and customers to cloud or on-premise
applications no matter what device or what identity they chose to
use.”
New capabilities in CA CloudMinder include:
Support for Social Identities: With support for OpenID,
OAuth, WS-Fed and SAML, CA CloudMinder provides SSO and
self-registration to vendor sites using Facebook and Google
identities, helping to drive social media marketing campaigns. CA
CloudMinder Advanced Authentication also adds step-up security to
the typical user name and password login. Extending the support of
CA CloudMinder to help drive customer engagement, satisfaction and
retention increases the value of IAM to an organization beyond the
traditional demands of security, compliance and operational
efficiencies.
Extended Support for On Premise and Cloud Applications:
CA CloudMinder helps organizations save money by reducing the time
it takes to deploy identity management capabilities. By adding more
than 30 connectors for provisioning, including support for Office
365, mainframes and other popular enterprise applications, CA
CloudMinder has increased its number of out-of-the-box
configurations for improved deployment time.
Support for IAM Choice: CA CloudMinder gives customers a
choice in how they support their IAM needs on the operational back
end, while streamlining management and administration on the front
end. By connecting to the CA Technologies provisioning, federation
and advanced authentication solutions already in place on-premise,
CA CloudMinder preserves the investment in configuring those
solutions as it unifies IAM administration into the CA CloudMinder
interface. This gives customers a choice: they can use CA
CloudMinder IAM as-a-service alone to manage all on-premise or
cloud applications, or they can use a mix of CA CloudMinder with CA
Technologies on-premise IAM solutions – all managed from a single
user interface.
Partner Ecosystem
CA CloudMinder also presents a variety of opportunities for
partners, including hosting the CA CloudMinder service operations
in their own data center and / or managing the IAM administration
on behalf of the customer in its tenant environment. These options
enable partners to focus on their strengths, while leveraging CA
Technologies IAM knowledge and experience.
“Efficiently managing identities and their access across the
hybrid enterprise with an eye toward the future is a complex and
resource-intensive challenge for many of the organizations we work
with today,” said Jeremy Britton, a director in Deloitte &
Touche LLP’s security & privacy practice and its CA alliance
leader. “This is especially true with the large number of external
users that businesses are now bringing into their applications. By
combining an IAM service that can remove the hardware and
operational burden with Deloitte’s application management offering,
which provides the staff and knowledge to manage IAM
administration, organizations can outsource their IAM function and
apply resources to other areas to drive business growth.”
The latest release of CA CloudMinder is available today. Pricing
starts with a base tenant set-up fee of $10,000 plus $5,000 per
service. Monthly fees are based on the number and types of users
(internal business users or external consumer users).
