(CA) is the world's largest management software company, employing almost 15,000 people and maintaining operations in more than 100 countries.

Penetration of these threats could impact its complex IT infrastructure of more than 30,000 clients and potentially immobilize business operations. Security is a never-ending focus for CA's IT staff. With the growing sophistication of threats and viruses, CA implemented eTrust Antivirus. eTrust Antivirus provides protection for its infrastructure, consisting of Windows, NetWare, Macintosh, UNIX and Linux, via a centralized management console.
