CA Technologies enters multiple Gartner Leaders quadrants

CA Technologies has announced that it has pulled a hat-trick for the Gartner Leaders quadrant of the Magic Quadrant for User Authentication.

Gartner Research Vice President Ant Allan predicts that cloud-based user authentication is going to be the norm in the years to come. “By year-end 2016, about 30% of enterprises will choose cloud-based services as the delivery option for new or refreshed user authentication implementations – up from 10% today,” he said.

“As the IT landscape continues to evolve with the rise of cloud computing, mobile computing and other disruptive technologies, the flexibility and convenience of a risk-based authentication solution is increasingly critical to organisations that want a strong security posture with minimal impact on the user,” said Vic Mankotia, Vice President, Solution Strategy, Asia Pacific and Japan at CA Technologies.

CA Technologies has also been placed again in the Gartner Leaders quadrant of the Magic Quadrant for Integrated IT Portfolio Analysis (IIPA) Applications.

Gartner defines IIPA software as software that "helps IT leaders link, monitor, analyse and communicate their activities on a single portfolio-level software platform, providing CIOs and other executives with holistic views of the IT portfolio while IT plans and executes in response to business and IT strategies.”

*CA AuthMinder and CA RiskMinder, the company’s on-premise strong authentication solutions, and CA CloudMinder Advanced Authentication, the authentication-as-a-service of CA CloudMinder, were evaluated for the report on User Authentication, while CA Clarity Project and Portfolio Management, which provides IT portfolio management and decision-making support, was evaluated for the IIPA report.

*CA Technologies also received a “strong positive” – the highest rating possible – in Gartner’s 'MarketScope for IT Project and Portfolio Management Software Applications' report.
