Organizations’ IT environments are increasingly complex – in terms of the number of systems, vendors, platforms and
applications – and more are being run concurrently. An industry challenge -- and a big opportunity for CA -- is to simplify
our customers’ complex computing environments. CA is already a leader in systems and network management solutions
for mainframe and distributed computing environments. CA ’s Unicenter®solutions help customers manage and automate
their IT infrastructures, enabling them to improve efficiency and optimize infrastructure availability and performance.
And we continue to strengthen those solutions. Our recent acquisition of Concord Communications brings greater
depth to our network analysis capabilities and strengthens our Unicenter portfolio, allowing
CA to offer customers
deeper and broader management solutions. This acquisition also increases CA ’s installed base of customers, expands
CA ’s access to vertical segments such as telecommunications and government organizations, and provides support for
important new technologies like V o IP (Voice over Internet Protocol) and IP v 6 (Internet Protocol version 6 ).

SECURITY MANAGEMENT
 Market Potential*: $8.4 billion in 2003 , growing at a compounded
annualized rate of 14 percent a year. The bulk of this market is security
for large and midsized enterprises, CA ’s strength.
 Customer Needs: Manage access privileges to systems and
devices within the IT environment to enable and enforce
security policy and meet user access needs; protect
the enterprise from security threats such as viruses, spam,
hacking and more; ensure compliance with regulations
regarding information management; and understand security events
contextually and determine actions to be taken.
When it comes to security, no other technology company has the experience and product depth to help customers
manage and safeguard their diverse
IT environments from the desktop to the network, and everything in between.
We operate both outside the perimeter, preventing security breaches and malicious threats like viruses and spyware,
and inside the perimeter, helping companies manage access to
IT resources, such as applications or databases.
CA ’s security solutions integrate with our other infrastructure management solutions to enable secure management
of the entire IT environment.
The overall security market is evolving in many different directions, but we will maintain our focus on enterprise
security management to make sure our customers’ infrastructures are protected.
