CA Technologies has acquired Arcot Systems for $200 million.
According to Ugan Naidoo, MD Security, CA Southern Africa, the acquisition of Arcot – a leader in cloud authentication – adds visionary technology for fraud prevention and advanced authentication to CA Technologies leading Identity and Access Management (IAM) offerings.
“Arcot solutions – delivered as on-premises software or as a cloud service – also builds on CA’s cloud security strategy and helps accelerate the company’s delivery of IAM solutions as a comprehensive service from the
cloud,” says Naidoo.
He adds that controlling identities and access to information is a critical area of security.
“The combination of Arcot’s software-only approach to advanced authentication and fraud prevention and our CA SiteMinder portfolio gives our customers robust and flexible options for reducing risk, supporting
regulatory compliance and confidently securing business transactions,” Naidoo concludes.
