SK Infosec to Deliver Advanced Authentication as a Robust Software-as-a-Service Offering using CA Technologies Advanced Authentication Solution

Seoul, July 30, 2012 – CA Technologies Korea (CA: NASDAQ) today announced it has entered into a Managed Service Provider (MSP) partnership with SK Infosec. Under the agreement, SK Infosec will provide its customers in Korea, China, Hong Kong and Japan with advanced authentication delivered as-a-service (SaaS) using CA AuthMinder™.

The global and Korean authentication markets are expecting rapid growth due to the increase in security threats, breaches and fraud cases in today’s interconnected world. As an MSP partner of CA Technologies, SK Infosec, a leading comprehensive security company in Korea, will provide Advanced Authentication and customer support to customers in Korea. The MSP partner model is an important and strategic route-to-market for CA Technologies in Asia Pacific & Japan.

“This agreement with CA Technologies will help us to deliver advanced authentication solutions on-premise or as a service,” said Shin Soo Jung, CEO of SK Infosec. “By combining our network and system know-how with CA Technologies innovative and strong advanced authentication solutions, we will be able to more efficiently respond to customers’ needs and to help meet their business objectives.”

With the acquisition of Arcot Systems, a leader in providing fraud prevention and advanced authentication solutions, CA Technologies added advanced authentication capabilities to its arsenal of security solutions delivered either on premises or as a cloud service.

“A large number of enterprises are choosing cloud-based services as their delivery option for user authentication implementations,” said Michael Choe, vice president and country manager, CA Technologies Korea. “By partnering with SK Infosec, we’ll help customers reduce risk with an authentication system that applies the appropriate methods of strong authentication and fraud prevention to increase security in a convenient, cost effective manner.”

CA AuthMinder offers a variety of user authentication credentials that provide strong, two-factor authentication completely in software. The software credentials run on multiple devices including PCs, mobile phones and tablets. With a wide range of authentication methods and interfaces including both software and OATH-based hardware tokens, CA AuthMinder helps eliminate redundant costs in the authentication chain and is ideally suited for organizations that want to choose risk-appropriate authentication methods without having to install multiple vendor authentication solutions.
