CA named top IAM software vendor for sixth consecutive year

CA has announced that it has been named the worldwide market leader in
identity and access management (IAM) software by IDC for the sixth consecutive
year. According to IDC's report, Worldwide Hardware Authentication and
Identity and Access Management 2005 Vendor Shares, CA continued to lead the IAM
market, with a 17.2 percent share and revenues exceeding $522 million. IDC said
the worldwide IAM market increased to $3 billion in 2005 as organizations
continued to look for more cost-effective ways to manage their security
infrastructures in the wake of increasing regulatory mandates and tighter budget
constraints.

While compliance was the largest market driver for IAM, other factors driving
its adoption included the need for enterprise single sign-on (SSO), more
sophisticated password management technology and workflow integration with
provisioning systems. CA solidified its lead position in IAM market with the
2004 acquisition of Netegrity and its SiteMinder web SSO products.
