Bedford, MA— RSA Security Inc. (NASDAQ: RSAS), the most trusted name in e-security®, announced today that Information Security Magazine, a leading authority in security news, insight and analysis, has presented RSA SecurID® two-factor authentication and RSA Keon® digital certificate management software with the 2002 Information Security Magazine Excellence Awards. The awards, designed to honor those companies offering products and services recognized as leaders in the field, are voted by readers of Information Security who rated the effectiveness and usability of products in 10 categories.
“The recognition from Information Security Magazine highlights the maturity and technical depth and breadth of our RSA SecurID authentication and RSA Keon digital certificate management solutions,” said John Worrall, vice president of product marketing at RSA Security. “The flexibility, interoperability and architecture of these products position them as the best authentication solutions for organizations with enterprise e-business initiatives that require rapid rollout and return on investment.”
RSA SecurID software, which was presented with the award in the Authentication category, is the world’s leading two-factor authentication solution, relied upon by thousands of organizations worldwide to help protect valuable network resources. RSA SecurID software requires users to identify themselves with two unique factors — something they know, such as a password, and something they have, such as a token — before they are granted access. More than 12 million people around the world use RSA SecurID authenticators to securely access VPN and remote access applications, Web servers, network operating systems and wireless networks.
RSA Keon digital certificate management software, the winner in the Authentication – Soft Form Factor category, is designed to be a fully interoperable, standards-based solution that provides an environment for authenticated, private and legally binding electronic communications and transactions. RSA Keon software delivers the production-ready features designed to provide customers with enhanced security, streamlined administration, scalability, ease-of-use, improved performance and investment protection.
