Leading Enterprise Security Magazine's Excellence Awards Honor RSA Security's Identity and Access Management Solutions
BEDFORD, Mass.— RSA Security Inc. (NASDAQ: RSAS), the most trusted name in e-security®, announced today that Information Security, a leading authority in security news, insight and analysis, has presented the Company with three Information Security Excellence Awards. The annual awards, designed to recognize the IT/security industry's leading products, are voted by readers of Information Security who rated the effectiveness and usability of products in 10 categories.
RSA Security won awards for the best "Identity Management" solution (RSA ClearTrust® Web access management software) and best "Authentication - Hard Form Factor" solution (RSA SecurID® two-factor authentication). RSA SecurID software was also presented with the "Foundation Award," an inaugural award which recognizes the security product that had the highest rating and widest deployment among this year's 10 Excellence Award winners. Award winners in each category were selected based on industry-wide deployment base and overall quality within enterprise environments.
"The recognition from Information Security highlights the maturity and technical depth and breadth of our RSA SecurID authentication and RSA ClearTrust Web access management solutions," said John Worrall, vice president of worldwide marketing at RSA Security. "RSA Security's leading identity and access management solutions help customers prove online identities, access rights and privileges for people, applications and devices and transform them into a catalyst for competitive advantage."
RSA SecurID software, a three-time award winner 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 13 million people around the world have used RSA SecurID authenticators to securely access VPN and remote access applications, Web servers, network operating systems and wireless networks.
RSA ClearTrust Web access management software helps enable secure access to Web-based resources. RSA ClearTrust software is designed to work within intranets, extranets, portals and exchange infrastructures - while providing users with transparent, single sign-on (SSO) across multiple applications. This easy-to-deploy, rules-based solution is built to integrate with existing infrastructures and provides the scalability to support growing e-business requirements.
"Infosecurity professionals have literally thousands of technologies and products to choose from. Those selected by our readers for an Excellence Award represent the best of breed in real-world enterprise security environments," said Andrew Briney, editor-in-chief of Information Security. "The Information Security Excellence Awards recognize those products that are leading the industry into its next wave of growth, while at the same time benefiting worthy organizations."
The Information Security Excellence Awards are a benchmark for security professionals, helping them to assess products and technologies that provide a competitive edge. The winners of the 2003 Information Security Excellence Awards were announced March 10, 2003 at an Awards luncheon at MIS Training Institute's InfoSec World Conference & Expo in Orlando, Fla.
