Control access for privileged accounts and meet compliance in a hybrid IT environment

CA Technologies announced that its 'CA Privileged Access Manager (CA PAM)' was named a leader in all categories in the 'Leadership Compass - Privilege Management' market analysis report recently released by KuppingerCole, an account-based information security analysis firm.

This Couping A Call report focused on solutions for managing users with access and activity permissions (IT administrators) and evaluated four categories: innovation, market position, product, and overall sum. CA permissions management solutions took the lead in all categories. In particular, they earned a 'Strong Positive' rating not only for product features such as security, integration, interoperability, and usability, but also for corporate standing in terms of capital strength, regional presence, and partner ecosystem.

Report authors Martin Kupinger, Senior Analyst at Kupinger Call, and Amar Singh, Senior Analyst, stated, “While the scope of privilege management is very broad, it can be summarized as ‘automating the management of who, when, where, at what time, and for how long can access the most critical data and systems.’” They added, “CA Privilege Access Manager is a fully complete, mature solution with a wide range of features.” "It delivers outstanding performance on its own, but it also operates in perfect integration with CA products such as 'CA Identity Governance' and 'CA Identity Manager'," he said.

“Unmanaged privileged accounts are used to access critical systems and information, leading to catastrophic data breaches. With the increasing need for compliance and auditing, the necessity to control and manage the credentials and activities of privileged accounts has grown,” said Vik Mancotia, Vice President of Security and API Management for Asia Pacific and Japan at CA Technologies. “Through CA Privilege Access Manager, customers can control privileged account access and meet compliance requirements in hybrid IT environments.”
