HERNDON, Va. (Oct. 13, 2009) - The Transglobal Secure Collaboration Program (TSCP) today announced that CA, Inc., the world's leading independent IT management software company, is its newest member. The CA Security Management business, which provides integrated identity and access management, security information management, and data loss prevention solutions, will be collaborating with TSCP to help partners accelerate adoption of standards designed to build a globally secure critical infrastructure.

We look forward to helping secure global business transactions and the exchange of data with innovative products that support TSCP-established standards."

CA will participate by providing technology expertise for world-class identity and access management, including Web access management, identity federation, single sign-on, user provisioning and more.
