CA has acquired IDFocus LLC and its identity management technology, ACE.

"Identity management is essential to comprehensive IT security, and the integration of CA Identity Manager and ACE technology enables CA to deliver a robust and powerful identity management solution," said Dave Hansen, corporate senior vice president and general manager, CA Security Management.

"This acquisition strengthens CA's ability to continually enhance critical elements of CA's Identity and Access Management suite, which helps our customers effectively manage employees' and partners' identity lifecycles and meet new compliance demands."

The IDFocus software provides identity management capabilities with its technology that includes an improved ability to help customers meet compliance demands by proactively preventing segregation of duties (SoD) violations.

According to CA, the integration of IDFocus software aims to increase efficiencies by taking provisioning to a more specific, finer-grained entitlements level. By tightly integrating IDFocus software with CA Identity Manager, customers can link workflows and approvers to very specific user attributes. For example, a user can be provisioned with multiple roles within his or her ERP account and each role can have different approvers and approval processes, modification prerequisites, termination processes, and dependencies.
