BEDFORD, MA—October 2, 2026—RSA, the identity standard for government agencies, finance, and high-assurance organizations, today announced that Radius Channels, in conjunction with Climb Channel Solutions and operating as the Radius–Climb Alliance, is now a commercial distribution partner for North America and Canada.   

Across the United States and Canada, critical infrastructure sectors must contend with evolving regulations, new technologies, and evolving threats. Organizations are grappling with the need to secure agentic AI, meet expanding Criminal Justice Information Service (CJIS) requirements, modernize legacy infrastructure, and a range of other competing cybersecurity and business initiatives.  

“The organizations that rely on RSA keep our governments safe, protect our savings, heat our homes, and provide life-saving medical treatment,” said John Bialas, RSA Vice President, North America Sales. “This new go-to-market distribution relationship between RSA and the Radius–Climb Alliance will help more high-security organizations solve the hardest cybersecurity challenges, maintain operations, and continue delivering vital services to the people who rely on them.”  

“RSA has a truly best-in-class solution portfolio and a rock-solid commitment to the channel, which is why we are so excited about this partnership,” said Radius Channels CEO, Howard Goldberg. “We look forward to working with RSA partners to leverage our proven, unique methodology to help them expedite their pipeline growth and incremental revenue.” 

RSA provides the identity and access management (IAM) and identity governance and administration (IGA) capabilities that keep organizations secure, connected and in compliance, including:  

  • RSA Agent ID is the agentic identity security platform for highly-regulated industries. It discovers sanctioned and shadow agents, assigns ownership and risk context, and enforces policy on every action. Agent ID controls tool access, delivers approval with real assurance, automates governance, and preserves auditability across deployments worldwide. 
  • RSA ID Plus is a complete IAM platform for cloud, hybrid, and on-premises environments. It combines multifactor authentication, single sign-on, passwordless access, directory services, and resilient failover to protect workforces from phishing, ransomware, social engineering, and cloud disruptions while supporting productivity, compliance, and secure modernization at scale. 
  • RSA Governance & Lifecycle automates IGA across cloud, hybrid, and on-premises environments. It manages human and non-human identities, automates provisioning and deprovisioning, supports access reviews, detects segregation-of-duties conflicts, and maintains audit trails. AI-driven insights and reporting help organizations enforce least privilege, reduce risk, and surpass compliance requirements. 
  • SecurID protects on-premises users, applications, data, and services with proven authentication and identity management capabilities. It supports hardware and software authenticators, one-time passwords, multifactor authentication, passwordless methods, and multiple protocols. Authentication Manager and security-hardened appliances help high-assurance organizations verify users, control access, reduce risk, and maintain operational resilience securely. 
  • RSA iShield Key 2 delivers phishing-resistant, hardware-based passwordless authentication for modern and legacy environments. FIDO passkeys, PIV smart cards, and OATH OTP support help stop credential-based attacks, while FIPS 140-3 Level 3 alignment supports compliance. USB and NFC options, field-updatable firmware, RSA ID Plus integration, and secure self-service streamline deployment. 

The RSA / Radius-Climb Alliance will bring key benefits to RSA partners operating in the U.S. and Canada, including:  

  • Continuity—your pricing structure, partner program tier, and margins remain unchanged
