CA showcases leadership in Identity and Access Management Solutions at the Identity Summit

As IT environments of regional organisations are becoming increasingly complex, they must simplify and streamline essential security administration tasks in order to adequately protect themselves from cyber-risks.

CA will demonstrate how to streamline a significant portion of these tasks using CA's (IAM) Suite to substantially mitigate the risks associated with User Identity Management and Access Rights management as well as auditing the security status and risk posture of companies who have implemented Identity and access management principles.
