Under the agreement announced today, Northrop Grumman will be
able to use CA CloudMinder™ to provide customers with a
secure, cost-effective identity and access management (IAM)
solution.
CA CloudMinder™ is a software-as-a-service
(SaaS)-based service that provides user provisioning, self-service
user management and an access request system; strong risk-based
authentication; and federated single sign-on for both cloud-based
and on-premise applications.
With identity federation and single sign-on, users can enter a
single password to access any application, whether on the
customer's government or company-owned cloud or on Northrop
Grumman's cloud infrastructure. Northrop Grumman said it can
securely and rapidly migrate and deploy existing and new
applications on the cloud for its customers.
"Protecting the security and privacy of our clients' information
is a top concern for Northrop Grumman. Providing the right access
to the right information is also particularly important in the
health IT market," said Amy Caro,
vice president of health IT programs for Northrop Grumman. "By
working together to build a secure cyberspace, Northrop Grumman and
CA Technologies will be able to better address our clients' mission
needs and deliver cost-effective, low-risk solutions."
"The U.S. government's cloud-first strategy, combined with the
cybersecurity Executive Order, demands unique solutions that help
agencies secure their hybrid IT environments," said Mike Denning, senior vice president and general
manager, Security Solutions, CA Technologies. "We look forward to
working with Northrop Grumman and supporting its IAM-as-a-service
solution for its government customers and improve security and
efficiencies, reduce risk, and help meet cybersecurity mandates
across cloud and on-premise applications."
