Integrated User Provisioning and Access Rights Management Solution Helps Middle East Customers Reduce Administration Costs and Mitigate Security Risks
With its highly modular design, eTrust Identity and Access Management Suite can be deployed as individual components or as a complete solution. When deployed as a total solution, eTrust Identity and Access Management Suite offers a highly efficient user provisioning capability that enables organizations to automatically assign access rights based on roles - all through a common user interface. eTrust Identity and Access Management Suite easily integrates with existing technologies through its open, standards-based design. In addition, it eases administration costs and maintenance requirements, and reduces overall complexity with managing users and access.
“The intense pressure to control information assets has made identity and access management as critical to corporate performance as virus protection and vulnerability remediation,” said Russell M. Artzt, executive vice president of CA's eTrust solutions. “To mitigate security risks, enterprises have to manage who has access to what. eTrust Identity and Access Management Suite delivers this in an affordable, integrated and easy-to-implement solution.”
Unlike disparate point solutions that are highly prone to inefficiency, delay and error, CA's eTrust Identity and Access Management Suite delivers rapid, secure enablement of business services across distributed enterprise environments, including Linux, Windows and UNIX. It provides IT administrators with an innovative Web-based console for defining and administering user identities, enabling and disabling access to services based on those identities, and auditing and reporting the services that users have accessed.
CA will deliver the first component of eTrust Identity and Access Management Suite in November with the latest version of eTrust Admin. The new version will provide complete identity lifecycle management for the automated provisioning of systems, applications and physical resources. It will incorporate identity correlation, workflow, user self-service and role-based account management.

Integrated User Provisioning and Access Rights Management Solution Helps Middle East Customers Reduce Administration Costs and Mitigate Security Risks
Computer Associates International, Inc. (CA) recently announced eTrust Identity and Access Management Suite, a complete, standards-based solution for automating and integrating identity and access management across enterprise, customer and partner environments.
eTrust Identity and Access Management Suite empowers IT organizations to manage growing internal and external user populations, secure an increasingly complex array of resources and services, and comply with critical regulatory mandates. This latest security management solution from CA helps eliminate operational inefficiencies, reduce menial tasks, and monitor regulatory compliance.
eTrust Identity and Access Management Suite integrates at the server level virtually all aspects of managing identities and controlling access. It is the first solution to bring provisioning, enforcement and auditing together with a common architecture and shared administrative interface. The suite consists of six modular components:
- eTrust Admin provides a role-/policy-based user provisioning solution that provides for user life cycle management and user account management security while reducing administration costs in complex environments.
- eTrust Access Control delivers policy-based control of who can access specific systems, what they can do within them and when they are allowed access.
- eTrust Audit collects enterprise-wide security and system audit information without reduced performance and overwhelming network traffic caused by other auditing products - providing comprehensive, manageable reporting capabilities.
- eTrust Directory combines LDAP v3 directory access with X.500 distribution and replication to deliver a backbone of servers that are capable of spanning continents and scaling to hundreds of millions of entries.
- eTrust Single Sign-On enhances overall security by automating access to all authorized Web services and enterprise-wide applications through a single login.
- eTrust Web Access Control secures web resources and Web services. It delivers secure single sign-on across internal and external websites, simplifying system access for end users.
With its highly modular design, eTrust Identity and Access Management Suite can be deployed as individual components or as a complete solution. When deployed as a total solution, eTrust Identity and Access Management Suite offers a highly efficient user provisioning capability that enables organizations to automatically assign access rights based on roles - all through a common user interface. eTrust Identity and Access Management Suite easily integrates with existing technologies through its open, standards-based design.
