Speaking on the occasion, Ms. Maria Medvedeva, Regional Director of CA's Security Management Business in the EMEA Eastern markets said,

Today, it directly impacts a company's reputation, its valuation among analysts and customer satisfaction ratings. CA provides cutting edge technology solutions to unify fragmented point systems into cohesive Security Management.'

Today security is a complex topic for any enterprise. Most organizations remain at risk from a wide range of security threats that adversely affect business efficiency.

CA Security Management solution provides key protection from this increasing trend of malicious activity. CA Security Management maximizes enterprise's return on capital investment by integrating multi-vendor network, systems and applications infrastructure. CA extends its value proposition by adding a world-class enterprise level monitoring, management and information delivery capabilities.

Medvedeva added: 'CIOs are looking into solutions that help simplify, not further complicate, the process of securing company's data assets. To that end security applications must impart questionable information, support a wide range of platforms and provide ease of integration in a heterogeneous environment. CA's comprehensive Security Management solution ensures smooth implementation and provides consistent results.'

A properly deployed CA's Security Management strategy is capable of delivering an enterprise security infrastructure in key protection areas of Identity and Access Management, Threat and Vulnerability Management, and Security Information Management. Going forward all organizations that are serious about keeping their operational data secure will need to maintain enterprise continuity while keeping malicious activity under control. CA Security Management allows achieving true risk mitigation from attacks, viruses, hackers, internal and external intelligence threats and regulatory compliance matters.
