CA Technologies has announced the CA Security SaaS Validation Program to help Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) providers boost sales and customer adoption while enhancing security for their SaaS-based applications.

Part of the company?s Technology Partner Program, this new validation program provides a quick and easy way for SaaS providers to create and confirm standards-based single sign-on (SSO) interoperability between their offerings and CA SiteMinder and CA CloudMinder, the market-leading SSO solutions from CA Technologies.

Documentation created during the validation process can be used by customers to quickly integrate SaaS solutions with CA SiteMinder or CA CloudMinder SSO in their own environment. Support for standards such as SAML, WS-Fed and others help make the integration and validation with CA Technologies SSO offerings seamless.

For convenience, the integration and testing aspects of the program can be easily completed by SaaS vendors in a self-service environment hosted by CA Technologies, or it can be done with assistance from the CA Technologies partner team. After official validation by CA Technologies, interoperability details are documented in a runbook that outlines a repeatable, step-by-step integration process, along with key tips and troubleshooting guidance.
