BT’s New Managed Identity Service Helps Connect
Employees, Customers and Partners to Corporate and Cloud-based
Applications Securely and Cost-Effectively
CA Technologies (NASDAQ:CA) and BT today announced that CA
Secure Cloud, CA’s identity and access management (IAM) solution
for managed service providers, has been integrated into BT’s new
managed identity service, BT Assure Cloud Identity. BT’s service
helps protect business data wherever it’s located – in the cloud,
on-premise or in hybrid IT systems – using the enterprise-grade IAM
capabilities within CA Secure Cloud paired with BT’s extensive
managed security expertise.
BT customers benefit from a turnkey, cost-effective security
system that supports the increasing demand for mobility, growing
use of social identities and the need for partner integration and
customer access. Assure Cloud Identity offers a flexible solution
designed to meet the demand for securely connecting employees,
customers and partners to company applications from any location on
any device.
CA Secure Cloud is the core IAM technology behind the Assure
Cloud Identity service, controlling access to BT customers’
on-premise and cloud applications. This includes the efficient
provisioning and management of users; federated single sign-on for
software-as-a-service (SaaS) and on-premise applications; and
protection against inappropriate access and fraud through proven
advanced authentication services that incorporate multi-factor and
behavioral analytics to make the process as seamless as
possible.
“CA Technologies has been a trusted security partner for BT for
more than 10 years. Together, we help ease our customers’ concerns
over data access and security,” said Mark Hughes, president, BT
Security. “As a managed service, Assure Cloud Identity gives our
customers the confidence and convenience of protecting critical
data from loss or improper use, no matter where it resides. They
are able to do this, without a significant investment into hardware
or staffing to support the technology and they free up time and
resource for their core business.”
The new service is hosted and available in the UK within dual
resilient data centers. It will progressively be made available
throughout Europe and other geographies.
“A key component of CA’s security business strategy is to work
with innovative and successful organizations that complement our
business plans and extend our leading IAM solutions in the security
arena,” said Steve Firestone, senior vice president and general
manager, Security business, CA Technologies. “We are excited about
our expanding work with BT to protect customer data while enabling
the business to grow and thrive in the application economy.”
