ISLANDIA, N.Y., Oct. 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- CA, Inc. (Nasdaq: CA) today announced it has been positioned by Gartner, Inc., in the leaders quadrant for its 2009 Magic Quadrant for User Provisioning.* Gartner positions vendors in the "Leaders" quadrant based on their completeness of vision and ability to execute.

The 2009 Magic Quadrant for User Provisioning reported that, "The roles of IAM intelligence, SIEM, and DLP will continue to grow in user provisioning solutions as security and network events are correlated with identity and access events to provide a full picture of the network (see 'SIEM and IAM Technology Integration')."*

Operational efficiency and compliance are frequently cited as business drivers for identity and access management, which includes user provisioning. CA's integrated IAM and security information management products, and its rapid implementation services, help customers automate provisioning processes, manage compliance requirements, and deploy a system quickly so they can see short-term results from their investment.

"The acquisitions CA has made over the past year for fine-grained user provisioning, role management and DLP technologies are helping fulfill our vision for identity and access management," said Dave Hansen, corporate senior vice president and general manager, CA Security Management. "The innovation we bring to the table with 'Smart Provisioning' and content-aware IAM adds intelligence to the IAM system and is making customers and prospects look at their overall approach to security in a different way."
