NEW YORK | LOS ANGELES | GENEVA | June 9th, 2015 – CA Technologies (NASDAQ:CA) recently announced it has acquired privately held IdMlogic, a developer of intelligent identity management applications. A CA partner since 2011, IdMlogic provides the unifying, business-oriented front-end application for CA Identity Suite, making identity governance and application access simple and intuitive for the business user. All IdMlogic employees have joined CA. Terms of the agreement were not disclosed.

Redwood Capital Group (www.redcapgroup.com), a leading independent investment bank serving enterprise technology companies, represented IdMlogic in this transaction.

The application economy demands a new approach to security – one that both protects and enables the business. By acquiring IdMlogic and its innovative SIGMA solution, CA broadens its ability to protect organizations and improve their efficiencies for faster business growth.

IdMlogic’s solution provides the technical sophistication and simplicity needed to meet the demands of both IT and the business user. IdMlogic’s decision tools and intuitive user interface, combined with CA’s identity management and access governance solution, make it easier for business users to complete identity-related processes without compromising on the robust security that IT demands.

“Identity and access management long ago stopped being the purview of only highly technical staff. For effective and efficient security and compliance initiatives, business leaders must participate in IAM functions as the stakeholders who know who should have access to data, systems and applications,” said Steve Firestone, senior vice president and Security general manager, CA Technologies. “The addition of IdMlogic’s solution to our security portfolio allows CA to continue innovation that streamlines business user management and governance of identities by converting IT language to business language.” IdMlogic, headquartered in Tel Aviv, Israel, was founded in 2004 by Iris Sharoni and Mike Trubatch. It was named CA Innovative Partner of the Year in November 2014.

“For more than three years, we’ve enjoyed a very successful partnership with CA helping to deliver CA Identity Suite to some of the largest enterprises. We look forward to joining the team to continue further innovation for our customers and prospects and deliver the best identity and access governance solution in the market,” said Iris Sharoni, co-founder and CEO, IdMlogic.

CA Identity Suite is a one-stop identity and access governance solution that enables the business user to request access, approve requests and complete access audits from a simple web or mobile interface.
