CA Technologies has continued the strategy it began last year with CA ERwin Data Modeller R8 of improving the data modelling solution's accessibility to the general user with two new solutions, as well as an 8.2 release. "R8 was all about visualizing the power of the data to address a broader audience and make it more accessible," said Donna Burbank, senior director of product marketing for data management at CA Technologies. "Now we are expanding on that idea of visualization as something that anyone can use."
An example of risk-based authentication is CA Arcot's RiskFort, a sophisticated tool that incorporates analytical fraud models based on a statistical analysis of transaction and fraud data.
"RiskFort collects a wide range of data about each login or transaction to produce a risk score derived from analytics and rules," says Ram Varadarajan, general manager at CA Arcot Security solutions, CA Technologies.
He adds, "The risk score determines what action, if any, to take for a given transaction, such as requiring a higher form of authentication. This is a scenario where risk-based authentication works collaboratively with strong authentication. If a transaction appears suspicious, another factor of authentication can be invoked to 'step up' the authentication and security."
How can you test composite systems realistically without running a complete test system? CA subsidiary ITKO seems to have found the answer: simulation.
Testing composite systems involving multiple applications running on multiple systems is complicated. And time consuming. And expensive. And what happens if you need to test a public-facing system under loads that it only bears on one day per year?
Well, what if there was a way that you could implement changes to one subsystem and *know* that it still work with all the others, and test it under perhaps 100 times the normal load - completely independently of the rest of the system?
That's where CA subsidiary ITKO's LISA platform comes in. LISA can capture transactions passing between subsystems, and then simulate the rest of the system when a component is being tested. Sources of data include CA's Wily application performance management and NetQoS network performance management products.
