BEDFORD, MA.— To help businesses reduce security risks and safeguard information assets, RSA Security Inc. (NASDAQ: RSAS) today announced the Application Security Design Assessment Service. This new service is designed to provide an easy way for companies to engage expert e-security design consultants and leverage RSA Security's depth and breadth of experience in application security. Through this service, consultants from RSA Security's Professional Services clearly and confidentially identify a system's strengths and weakness. RSA Security's Professional Services consultants also provide concise, meaningful recommendations, consistent with specific business and technical goals, to proactively identify, correct and prevent security problems.
A fixed-price, fixed-time service, the RSA Security Application Security Design Assessment Service is designed to help companies improve their security profiles, while providing a heightened level of assurance to both the company and their customers. This service is of value to any company that needs added assurance that its application is secure, whether it uses RSA Security products or other security products. The service provides flexible resource augmentation as companies need it, reducing the time and financial burden associated with hiring and training staff in security design and implementation.
"Our new, high-value Application Security Design Assessment Service provides a fast, low-risk way for companies to take advantage of expert consultants from an industry leader in e-security to gain valuable insight into how to plan and design proactively for security in future application development projects," said Rick Welch, RSA Security's vice president of professional services. "This new program also assesses the design of existing applications to help companies to significantly reduce their current security risk."
"We are very excited about RSA Security's new Application Security Design Assessment Service," said Larry Vernec, vice president of marketing for MediaDNA, a leading provider of comprehensive digital content marketing and digital rights management (DRM) solutions for the marketing, distribution, and protection of content over the Internet. "In today's highly dynamic business environment, enterprises can't afford to put their digital assets at risk. Through this program, we expect to leverage RSA Security's world-class technology and experience to ensure the integrity of our applications."
The Application Security Design Assessment Service is designed to provide a quick and accurate diagnosis of the current state of an enterprise's application security - whether the application is already deployed or still in the design stage. Specific tasks and deliverables include:
- Technical documentation review aimed at understanding security policy, threats and risks, application architecture and information flow, design and implementation parameters, and operations and administration;
- On-site interviews with project personnel to refine the analysis and observe the application interfaces in a demo environment;
- Preparation and review of the Assessment Report by other RSA Security experts; and
