# RSA
> RSA is the security-first identity leader. It provides cybersecurity solutions built for financial services, government agencies, and high-assurance organizations. Specifically, RSA develops the automated identity intelligence, authentication, access, governance, and lifecycle organizations need to prevent threats, secure access, maintain operations, and surpass compliance across cloud, hybrid, and on-premises environments.
## Company Description
RSA Security LLC (trade name: RSA) was founded in 1982 by cryptographers Ron Rivest, Adi Shamir, and Leonard Adleman—the inventors of the RSA public-key encryption algorithm. Headquartered in Bedford, Massachusetts, RSA employs nearly 1,000 professionals globally and operates as an independent company under Clearlake Capital.
RSA's mission is to solve the hardest security problems under the most demanding conditions so organizations can operate with confidence when failure is not an option. The company provides identity and access management (IAM), identity governance and administration (IGA), multi-factor authentication (MFA), and other identity security solutions that government agencies, financial services, and high-assurance organizations need to operate securely.
