CA and HyTrust ally to secure virtual and cloud infrastructure

Thursday, September 15th, 2011

Complementary technologies from these technology alliance partners promises to arm organisations with tools to virtualise with confidence.

CA Technologies is an IT management software and solutions company.CA Technologies and HyTrust, which provides solutions for policy management and access control for virtual infrastructure, has announced a collaboration to further improve security and compliance for customers leveraging virtualized systems and cloud infrastructures.

“Virtualization presents one of the most significant security challenges an IT organization faces, with the IT administrator being essentially given the ‘keys to the kingdom’ – access to every system and application. In the move to the cloud, the added complexity and multi-tenancy aspects of the infrastructure bring management, security, and compliance issues to the forefront,” said Eric Chiu, founder and president of HyTrust.

HyTrust Appliance complements CA Access Control by administering various aspects of a virtual infrastructure such as unified access control, policy enforcement and audit-quality logging.

HyTrust also supports the recently announced CA Automation Suite for Clouds by providing the security policy and compliance capabilities needed to improve security of the cloud infrastructure.

Large enterprises continue to explore the benefits of the cloud based on their experiences with virtualization, according to a December 2010 study conducted by Management Insight on behalf of CA Technologies.

This expansion moves them to a more complex infrastructure that demands more sophisticated and automated management and security.
