Posted on: Thursday, 3 September 2009, 08:00 CDT

ISLANDIA, N.Y., Sept. 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- CA, Inc. (Nasdaq: CA) today announced that its Internet Security Business Unit (ISBU) is rolling out a new channel program for its Business-to-Business (B2B) product lineup. CA will now offer CA Host-Based Intrusion Prevention (HIPS) free with the purchase or renewal of CA Threat Manager (a value of $1800 for 50 licenses). Additionally, all CA B2B Internet Security products, including CA Threat Manager, CA HIPS, CA Total Defense, CA Anti-Virus, CA Anti-Spyware, and CA Gateway Security, will now include remote installation free of charge.

"In this economy everyone is being forced to do more with less," said Chris Hickey, vice president of Sales and Marketing for CA's ISBU. "While the economy was in decline, the rate of malware increased exponentially. We created this channel-only program to provide our partners and their customers with the best B2B anti-malware solutions at a great value. By receiving free remote installation and configuration with our products, customers can alleviate the added drain on their already tapped IT resources, and can be assured that the product is installed correctly -- helping avoid any potential downtime."

CA's full range of B2B Internet Security products facilitate security compliance and safeguard businesses from the most severe online security risks from the network to the desktop. These products include:

• CA Threat Manager is an integrated, cohesive and comprehensive security solution that detects, blocks, cleans and removes a wide range of security threats and covers all IT environments (desktop, laptop, server and other network access points) via a streamlined management capability.
• CA Host-Based Intrusion Prevention (HIPS) combines endpoint Firewall, Intrusion Detection, Intrusion Prevention, Operating System Security and Application Control capabilities to provide centralized proactive threat protection to counter online threats.
• CA Gateway Security is a comprehensive gateway security solution that secures, monitors, filters and blocks potential threats from messaging and Web traffic -- all from a centralized console. CA Gateway Security can also protect against the outbound transmission of confidential information, facilitate compliance, improve employee productivity and optimize the use of valuable IT resources -- improving overall business continuity.
• CA Total Defense combines these three products into a single offering, providing a multilayered protection solution that minimizes risk and confidentiality breaches, increase system uptime and improves productivity.
