Integrated Solution Provides End-to-End Control
of Privileged Identities Across the Hybrid Enterprise
CA Technologies (NASDAQ:CA) has released significant
enhancements to its comprehensive privileged access management
portfolio, giving customers control over the privileged accounts
that support a hybrid IT environment and are a frequent vector for
cyberattacks.
By updating and integrating CA Privileged Access Manager
(formerly Xceedium Xsuite) and CA Privileged Access Manager Server
Control, CA helps reduce the risk of data breaches by extending the
depth and breadth of control over privileged users end-to-end –
from the gateway to the server and from the database to the cloud –
all from a single management console.
“When CA acquired Xceedium last year, it created the most
comprehensive portfolio for reducing risk of data breaches due to
the compromise of privileged access and insider accounts earmarked
for IT administrators and super users,” said Mordecai Rosen, senior
vice president and general manager, CA Security business. “In any
cyberattack, bad actors have a single goal in mind – elevate
privilege in order to get access to the most sensitive systems and
data. And if the attacker is a disgruntled insider, he or she may
already have that access. CA’s privileged access management
solutions help protect an organization’s most sensitive systems and
information.”
CA Privileged Access Manager allows customers to implement
controls at the network gateway, managing privileged user access to
systems and applications based on the identity of the individual
user. CA Privileged Access Manager Server Control resides on the
server and manages user activity based on resource protection, with
policies that control file access and actions taken on the server.
This prevents bad actors from covering their tracks and helps
accelerate breach discovery.
With the enhancements, customers can consistently manage and
control privileged users at both the network and the server. When
an IT administrator accesses a system, CA Privileged Access Manager
automatically triggers CA’s Server Control product and to apply
policies on the server resources based on the individual’s identity
vs. simply the administrator account. This provides a more detailed
and granular level of access control.
In addition, CA Privileged Access Manager has expanded
integration with service management tools to further streamline
privileged user provisioning and de-provisioning for those
individuals who only require short-term privileged user access,
such as temporary employees or contractors.
“CA Technologies is definitely one of the veteran players in the
privilege management market. CA Technologies solutions are known
for the broadest range of supported systems, including the most
exotic and legacy ones, and a high degree of integration between
individual products. This makes it a natural fit for most
organizations, especially those with heterogeneous and heavily
virtualized environments,”1 said Ivan Niccolai, analyst,
KuppingerCole.
