CA Technologies Announces New Security Solutions to Protect APIs, Mobile Apps and Cloud Services from Development to Runtime
Announcement posted by CA Technologies 26 Feb 2014
The new mobility and API solutions announced today accelerate mobile app development, improve application performance and deliver security and user convenience from the client to the backend.
“The expansion of mobile and cloud use and the growth in API adoption has opened the enterprise and further complicated the security challenge of balancing business enablement with business protection,” said Vic Mankotia, vice president, Solution Sales, CA Technologies Asia Pacific & Japan. “CA is the only company that can protect data and applications operating in today’s open enterprise from development through runtime and from device to data center.”
CA’s identity and access management (IAM) solutions help ensure the right users and devices have the right access to the right data—whether the user is a developer building the latest cloud mashup or mobile app, a customer accessing his or her mobile banking application or an employee accessing a corporate cloud service.
Additional new application security and advanced authentication solutions help secure the app once deployed.
The CA Layer 7 API Portal makes it simple to create a branded online interface for developers so they can access all the design time resources needed to quickly discover and understand an API, and then create an application and track its usage.
The CA Layer 7 Mobile Access Gateway simplifies the process of adapting internal data, applications and security infrastructure for mobile use. It provides a centralized way to maintain and control security and management policies for information assets exposed via APIs while delivering a consistent level of performance for the app end user.
Once a mobile app is deployed and running, another level of security is required to help ensure the right user—employing the right device at the right time from the right location—has access to approved applications.
CA Mobile Application Management (CA MAM) is a new, organically developed solution for the BYOD enterprise. CA MAM leverages CA’s innovative Smart Containerization™ technology to dynamically control mobile application access policies at a granular level while retaining the native app experience specific to the device or platform. Features such as geo-fencing, time-fencing, network-fencing and enhanced authentication define and enforce detailed access policies related to geographies, time of day and networks, further improving security of enterprise mobile apps.
The current release of CA Advanced Authentication complements the solutions announced today by providing a variety of strong authentication credentials and risk-based evaluation tools for mobile environments.
In addition to the Identity and Access Management solutions announced today, CA Technologies also announced its CA Management Cloud for Mobility. Several of the IAM solutions announced today are included in that offering, enabling end-to-end mobile security and management from development through runtime and from the device to the data center.
CA Technologies is demonstrating its IAM portfolio at RSA Conference USA 2014 in booth 2709. In addition, representatives are speaking at the CSA Summit, and the company is hosting an API workshop.
