    Overview

    As we've seen, passwords alone don't keep unwanted guests out of your network. Password-only authentication has led to security breaches, malware infections, and policy violations. With two-factor authentication, a password is used along with a security token and authentication server to provide far better security.  Authorized employees can remotely access company resources safely using a variety of devices, ranging from lpatops to mobile phones.

    CA Directory is an easy-to-manage directory service with superior performance for read and write operations, transparent and distributed replication across any number of servers and automatic recovery for seamless failover and failback. With these market-leading capabilities, CA Directory provides a mature, standards-based platform for your application infrastructure that allows you to reduce your costs while still delivering superior user experience and improved business agility.
