Computer Associates International introduced a new standards-based approach to integrating authentication, authorization and auditing mechanisms across multi-platform environments and multi-tier applications.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
The new open-standards framework, dubbed the eTrust Security Management Architecture, will be incorporated into channel-friendly toolkits from CA later this year, said to Bilhar Mann, vice president of product management for identity and access management.<\/p>\n
Down the road, CA will extend this security backbone to all of its identity and access management products, Mann said.<\/p>\n
By featuring a common security backbone that leverages open standards such as WS-Security, SAML, SPML, ISO-10181, Kerberos, X.509 and SAF, the new architecture enables interoperability between diverse platforms and security mechanisms. The new framework also will provide “intelligent decision processing,” a feature that enables security policies based on point of entry and other variables that may impact the attributes of a specific transaction, as well as “true accountability,” which ensures that a user’s identity is not lost in a transaction by delivering identity mapping across platform boundaries.<\/p>\n
This latter technology, spawned from the nascent log management industry, delivers a complete audit of an identity or access transaction as it moves throughout an organization, and enables solution providers to help customers enforce platform-independent security policies.<\/p>\n
