CA Southern Africa has announced the availability of  CA Technologies CA Identity Suite, a new, one-stop identity management and governance solution that transforms data into business information and simplifies identity management and access governance across the enterprise.

The CA Identity Suite streamlines access requests, approvals and governance processes for the business stakeholder by translating traditional IT jargon into language and terms a business user understands.

“Identity and access management is no longer the sole domain of highly technical staff. Today’s security and compliance-driven work environment demands that more non-technical business stakeholders participate in IAM functions as the users that know who should have access to data, systems and applications,” says Eren Ramdhani, CA Southern Africa solution strategist, security. “The IAM engagement must be easy for business users, incorporating language they understand in a system they can access anytime, through a variety of devices.”

With role analytics, the ability to customize policy and system connections without coding, and the functionality to request, grant and govern user access, the CA Identity Suite delivers enterprise scale identity management in a solution that requires minimal training and offers a consolidated, simplified user experience. CA incorporated SIGMA, IDMLogic’s leading business-focused application for identity and access governance, with CA IdentityMinder™ and CA GovernanceMinder™ to create the CA Identity Suite.

“Security and compliance teams want seamless, intuitive processes that let them provide the appropriate information that their various internal partners want and need,” said Myrna Soto, Chief Infrastructure and Information Security Officer, Comcast, a global media and technology company with two primary businesses, Comcast Cable and NBCUniversal.. “By integrating CA Technologies and IDMLogic solutions across our organization, we have been able to help simplify identity management processes and make engagement easy for our business leaders without compromising our security and compliance needs.”
