BMC, RSA To Provide Comprehensive
Access Management Solution
BMC Software Inc, a leader in enterprise management, and RSA Security Inc
announced that BMC Software has joined the RSA Secured Partner Program to
provide a trusted identity and access management solution between BMC
Software's leading provisioning solution, CONTROL-SA, and RSA SecurID
two-factor authentication and RSA ClearTrust Web access management. This
certification ensures that the companies' joint customers have access to
powerful security technologies that deliver enhanced performance and a quicker
return on investment.
As the business world evolves, a comprehensive IT strategy is essential to
the
growth and success of an organization. Companies must feel confident that
vital information and applications remain secure, both inside and outside
their operations. By working together, BMC Software and RSA Security help
joint customers efficiently and cost-effectively manage the identities of
diverse user databases including employees, partners and customers.
As part of the RSA Secured Partner Program, BMC Software's CONTROL-SA
solution
has been awarded RSA SecurID Ready and RSA ClearTrust Ready certifications
signaling its interoperability with RSA Security's authentication technology
and Web access management software. The RSA Secured certification lets
organizations know that a strategic partnership has been created that
leverages market-leading security products and technologies in order to meet
the needs of today's enterprise customers.
Web services, utility computing, .NET, CPU harvesting and distributed
computing are just a few of the technologies that fall under the Grid
computing umbrella. Gt04 -- a premiere enterprise Grid computing conference
targeting industrial and commercial users -- will gather experts, and outline
strategies and road maps for Grid deployment. For more information, visit

"As IT enterprises become more complex, it's increasingly important for
administrators to choose technologies and strategic partners they can trust to
deliver leading security solutions," said Somesh Singh, vice president and
general manager of CONTROL-SA at BMC Software. "Together, BMC Software and RSA
Security provide a complete, trusted identity and access management solution
for our enterprise customers. We look forward to growing our relationship with
RSA Security and offering customers superior security management
solutions."
CONTROL-SA enables organizations to establish and efficiently enforce
policies
associated with user access to systems, applications and resources within
their IT environment. The solution allows organizations to deploy mission
critical applications in a multi-platform environment while maintaining a
centralized point-of-control. CONTROL-SA also helps organizations cut costs by
providing self-assisted password reset and automated role-based access control
management.
"We are extremely pleased with the continued success of our RSA Secured
Partner Program, and are pleased to continue the momentum with the addition of
BMC Software," said Jason Lewis, vice president of product management and
marketing at RSA Security. "With the growth of IT infrastructures, companies
are struggling to maintain secure access to vital information and
applications. The strategic partnership between BMC Software and RSA Security
provides customers a comprehensive identity and access management
solution."
