Security Management
In today's business environment, security remains one of the most pressing IT concerns. Most organizations are struggling to protect an increasing amount of disparate resources, allow for additional users and manage the ever-evolving risk of threats and malicious attacks - all while trying to handle the exponential increase in security-related events. As an organization expands its assets and increases its exposure to a variety of users - from employees and customers to competitors and those dreaded hackers - a simple patchwork of security controls no longer suffices. Instead, organizations require a comprehensive solution that facilitates proactive management of their security environment. This addresses the entire spectrum of issues, from user identity and access, to threat management, to centrally managed security-related administration and information. Countering threats to information assets and maintaining employee productivity means on-demand responses at every level of the security infrastructure. Once implemented, a comprehensive security management solution delivers multiple benefits, including reduced costs, less downtime and lost productivity, and regulatory compliance. Most importantly, when an organization is confident that its information assets and resources are secure, it can return to doing what it does best - conducting business.
Security Doesn't Operate in a Silo
As the management software experts for more than 28 years, CA recognizes that security management doesn't exist in isolation. It's part of an overall IT infrastructure that covers many disciplines. Servers are only useful to the extent that they are reliably working over predictably high-performing networks. Likewise, applications are only as secure as the systems that control their access. And nothing works well without systems that serve business needs.
CA's vision is that disciplines which are traditionally considered distinct - operations, storage, security, life cycle and service management - should be integrated tightly to optimize the performance, reliability and efficiency of enterprise IT environments. CA has designed products that interact with each other leveraging common services - software components that perform reusable functions across multiple applications. By developing a central management database to provide a unified view of all aspects of the enterprise in relation to business activities and needs, CA has laid the foundation for a businesscentric IT organization.
