CA announced Thursday plans to acquire Israel-based Eurekify, in a move to expand its identity and access management software portfolio.
IT management software company aims to use Eurekify's analytics engine to reduce the time and effort it takes for customers to shift through employee's duties and responsibilities and to monitor their access management settings.
The combined CA Identity Manager and Eurekify Enterprise Role Manager will aim to help customers clean up existing identity data and build a model that "serves as the foundation to automate the user provisioning process and enhances identity lifecycle management," according to Islandia, N.Y.- based CA.
The acquisition is expected to close by month's end. Terms were not disclosed. Last month, CA made another security-related acquisition with its purchase of IDFocus.
CA on Tuesday announced it acquired identity management company IDFocus.
With the acquisition, CA plans to use IDFocus' Ace identity management technology to provide employees with multiple authorizations in their company's employee resource planning (ERP) system to automatically have those authorizations checked against the information they are seeking or the task they're trying to conduct.
Specifically, the CA Identity Manager aims to give employees various authorizations, then run a check against the segregation of duties (SOD) policies set up in the IDFocus software. If a policy has been violated, the CA Identity Manager is designed to kick in and prevent the employee from accessing the information or performing the attempted task.
"This acquisition strengthens CA's ability to continually enhance critical elements of CA's Identity and Access Management suite," Dave Hansen, CA Security Management general manager, said in a statement.
Terms of the sale were not disclosed.
