Analyst firm names CA Technologies the overall leader for identity provisioning

CA Technologies has been named an “Overall Leader” in identity provisioning in a Leadership Compass report issued by KuppingerCole, an analyst firm focused on identity-centric information security. CA IdentityMinder, CA’s unified solution for user provisioning and user management, was evaluated for the report.

In the “Leadership Compass: Identity Provisioning*” report, KuppingerCole evaluated 26 vendors in the areas of innovation, product and market presence. Analysts calculated Overall Leaders based on a combined rating of the three categories.

“Based on the long history of the product and the market position of CA Technologies, it is no surprise that CA has done a large number of deployments of CA IdentityMinder. As a consequence, there is — besides a mature and rich feature set — a number of additional solutions from CA Services available which add to this functionality,” Martin Kuppinger wrote in the report.

Kuppinger also stated, “A particular strength of the product is the availability of the Xpress components such as the Policy Xpress for building logic without coding and Connector Xpress for configuring new connectors.”

“Identity provisioning is a core element for protecting a business against data breach and enabling it for success,” said Mike Denning, Senior VP and GM, Security, CA Technologies. 

“Businesses that can on-board new employees quickly gain fast productivity; those that can revoke application access immediately when an employee leaves, protect themselves from data theft."
