CA Southern Africa has announced the acquisition of Arcot Systems by CA Technologies for $200 million.
According to Ugan Naidoo, MD Security, CA Southern Africa, the acquisition of Arcot – a leader in cloud authentication – adds technology for fraud prevention and advanced authentication to CA Technologies’ leading identity and access management (IAM) offerings.
“Arcot solutions – delivered as on-premises software or as a cloud service – also builds on CA’s cloud security strategy and helps accelerate the company’s delivery of IAM solutions as a comprehensive service from the cloud,” says Naidoo.
He adds that controlling identities and access to information is a critical area of security.
