In the words of Javier Zubieta, GMV’s Business Development Manager for Information Security, “this alliance reinforces the company’s ongoing strategy of offering groundbreaking solutions to meet our clients’ needs, such as privileged user management or harmonization of corporate and private worlds by means of social identity. CA Technologies is a worldwide benchmark, offering a host of synergies with a multinational company like ours”.

Ricardo Usaola, Manager of Alliances and New Markets of CA Technologies Iberia, puts it like this: “security has become an enabler of new forms of technology-supported business like cloud computing, mobile devices and social networking sites. Joining forces with a renowned security expert in Spain like GMV will enable us to help Spanish firms open new business outlets with secure connections for clients, employees, partners and suppliers, reducing the threat of internal and external attacks and compliance risk."
