CA Technologies leads in User Authentication

Thursday, February 9th, 2012

Gartner has positioned CA Technologies in the Leaders Quadrant of the Magic Quadrant for User Authentication.

CA Technologies has a range of User Authentication security solutions.

CA Technologies has a range of User Authentication security solutions.

Gartner estimates the overall growth in the market by customers to be approximately 30 percent year-over-year.

“By 2017, more than 50 percent of enterprises will choose cloud-based services as the delivery option for new or refreshed user authentication implementations, up from less than 10 percent today,” writes Ant Allan, Gartner Research Vice President.Because of the shift toward lower-cost authentication solutions, the overall growth by revenue is estimated to be approximately only 20 percent.

Considering Gartner’s user authentication market growth estimate, and the forecast that half of the implementations will be cloud services, CA Technologies is confident it is in a solid position for success in this sector.

“With more than 14,000 organizations leveraging our authentication solutions and more than 85 million identities protected by our cloud-based authentication services we should be on the short-list for anyone considering a cloud authentication solution,” said Vic Mankotia, Vice President of Security, Asia Pacific, CA Technologies.

CA Technologies has been positioned by Gartner in the Leaders Quadrant of two Gartner reports: Magic Quadrant for Identity and Access Governance (IAG), and Magic Quadrant for User Administration/Provisioning.

Magic Quadrant for Identity and Access Governance

“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 Vic Mankotia, VP, Security, Asia Pacific at CA Technologies.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. Get a complimentary copy of the report here.

Magic Quadrant for User Administration/Provisioning

“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,” added Mankotia.“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.
