CA Identity and Access Management Solutions
Help Secure User Access to Applications and Systems for over 7,000
Identities
CA Technologies (NASDAQ:CA) today announced that Acciona, one of
the leading infrastructure, renewable energy, water and services
organizations in Spain, is relying on CA Identity and Access
Management solutions to help minimize risk and address compliance
requirements for its critical infrastructure projects around the
world.
With current operations across more than 30 countries, Acciona
leads dozens of global projects, many supporting critical
infrastructure which makes security, compliance and controlling who
has access to what a vital part of business. Acciona currently
manages the identities of more than 7,000 internal employees and
external supply chain partners, controlling their access to
corporate applications and data. That number is expected to grow to
almost 11,000.
“Our work impacts the critical infrastructure of nations
globally. We cannot afford to have our own systems, sensitive data
and intellectual property improperly accessed or breached,” says
Juan Ignacio Gordon, Security Director at Acciona. “We are taking
an identity-centric approach to security and compliance. CA
identity and access management solutions allow us to dynamically
manage user identities and the changes around their roles, status
and access rights. It also helps us address regulatory compliance
mandates. The security and automation provided by CA security
solutions give us confidence we are protected and have the agility
to grow.”
CA Identity Manager and CA Identity Governance, implemented by
CA partner everis Group, a multinational consulting firm, provide a
unified solution for user provisioning, as well as management of
identities throughout their lifecycle. In addition, the CA solution
provides governance, helping the customer to ensure that each user
has only proper access rights, and that improper entitlements (such
as segregation of duties violations) are identified and corrected
quickly.
“The application economy thrives on the connections of people,
devices and data, but those connections need to be secured –
especially where critical infrastructures are concerned. Whether
it’s administrative systems controlling the operations of a
facility, or a contractor, like Acciona, working on projects, any
data and systems associated with those programs need to be
protected,” said Steve Firestone, senior vice president and general
manager, CA Security. “CA’s solutions help customers automate
identity management projects, and address the security and
compliance demands around assigning the right people the right
access to corporate data.”
