RSA Keon Software Supports World's Most Popular Collaboration Product
BEDFORD, Mass., Jan. 11 /PRNewswire/ -- RSA Security Inc. (Nasdaq: RSAS),
the most trusted name in e-security, and Lotus Development Corp. (NYSE: IBM)
today strengthened their relationship and extended RSA Security's public key
infrastructure (PKI) technology to Lotus Notes and Domino R5, the leading
platform for information management, messaging, collaboration and Web
application development. Building on their long-standing relationship, the two
companies have worked closely to ensure RSA Keon(TM) PKI software is
compatible with the Lotus Notes and Domino platform.
"Today's announcement is an important milestone for RSA Security as we
build on our relationship with Lotus and extend our product families to the
collaboration and e-business application markets," said Scott Schnell, senior
vice president of marketing for RSA Security. "We are pleased to have worked
with Lotus to facilitate interoperability between our respective products and
bring to market RSA Security's enterprise PKI solution for Lotus Notes and
Domino R5."
"Security is an important issue for the more than 50 million users of
Lotus Notes and Domino. Therefore, we provide our customers with a choice of
leading security solutions," said Cliff Reeves, vice president of product
management, Lotus Development Corp. "With the interoperability between RSA
Keon Software and our Notes and Domino R5 products, we can offer customers
additional flexibility to meet their security needs."
With RSA Keon software, enterprises are now able to employ a single,
standards-based approach that includes security for Lotus Notes and Lotus
Domino across their heterogeneous environment. RSA Keon software is designed
to complement the native security features of Lotus Notes, reducing the
potential danger of costly data sabotage and theft through a combination of
secure, automated single sign-on; strong public-key user authentication;
session encryption for all Notes applications; and centralized audit,
reporting and revocation of application access activity. In addition, RSA Keon
software is designed to deliver a Lotus Notes and Lotus Domino security
solution that simplifies security management by eliminating the need for
enterprises to manage multiple islands of security.
The two companies also announced the creation of a special Lotus Notes and
Domino security presentation at the upcoming RSA Conference 2000 to be held in
San Jose, Calif., from January 16 to 20. In addition, RSA Security has joined
