Three New Security Services From RSA Help Customers Protect Critical
Information Assets, Mitigate Risk and Enhance Compliance
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 6 /PRNewswire/ -- RSA(R) CONFERENCE 2007 -- EMC
Corporation (NYSE: EMC), the world leader in information infrastructure
solutions, today announced that it is expanding its portfolio of
information- centric services to help customers protect critical
information assets, mitigate risk and enhance compliance. The three new
services being delivered today provide customers the ability to classify
their data according to business risk, maintain confidentiality and privacy
of sensitive corporate data, and cost-effectively manage security-related
information for compliance and security audits. In a world where users and
information are constantly moving, a new approach to security is
needed-information-centric security-that focuses on protecting the
information no matter where it travels, binding security directly to
information and the people who need it. EMC's industry- leading security
products combined with its growing information security services portfolio
effectively secure information wherever it resides, ensure that the right
people get secure access to the appropriate corporate data at all times and
can help customers properly collect, correlate and analyze large amounts of
security audit data-core pillars of a comprehensive, information- centric
security strategy.
"Businesses around the world are increasingly recognizing that their
information is not just their most valuable asset, but also has the
potential of becoming their greatest liability," said Howard Elias, EMC
Executive Vice President of Global Services. "With EMC's industry-leading
security solutions and services, we are rapidly shifting the security focus
away from merely protecting the network perimeter and towards protecting
the information itself and those who have access to the information. Our
growing portfolio of information-centric security services provides
customers the confidence that they have the appropriate levels of security
on the right information and that they can cost-effectively show that their
security policies are truly working."
Among the new information security services being introduced today and
available through the RSA Security Practice within EMC Global Services:
-- Classification for Information Security is a consulting service that
classifies levels of sensitive information in a customer environment.
Appropriate levels of information security are matched with the needs
of the business through tailored interviews, EMC data discovery tools
and analysis of information characteristics. This consulting service
aligns information based on different security sensitivities at
different stages of its lifecycle, helps customers achieve predictable
handling of information based on security requirements and avoids the
expense of overprotecting information that is not sensitive.
-- Design and Implementation for Storage Encryption is a service designed
to ensure that a customer has an end-to-end data-encryption solution
for adequately securing data in a tape backup, on a Fibre Channel-based
storage array or in an IP-network environment. With encryption
appliances from EMC Select Partners, the Design and Implementation for
Storage Encryption service will deliver an appliance-based encryption
solution, with key management integrated into a customer's storage
environment. This design and implementation service complements the
enterprise database and application encryption solutions and services
from RSA, as well as helping to protect proprietary data, comply with
data-security regulations and reduce the complexity of encryption
implementation and management.
-- Design and Implementation for Security Information Management provides
a consolidated collection, management, reporting, analysis and storage
system for security-related events and data. This service integrates
appliances from the RSA enVision product line with EMC Centera and EMC
Celerra networked storage solutions into customer environments helping
to more cost-effectively manage security information and events to
assure security policy effectiveness and ease the burden of compliance.
"Leading enterprises realize that today's business requirements demand
a comprehensive strategy to protect critical information and assure
compliance," continued Elias. "With our expanded information security
services portfolio, we are addressing the complete range of customer
requirements, from risk advisory consulting that helps customers evaluate
their information security risk profile, to architecture, design,
implementation, training and support services. EMC information security
consultants are helping customers realize new business possibilities
because they can trust that their information assets are secure and
protected."
"EMC's new services for data encryption, information classification and
security information management will assist customers secure their
information throughout its lifecycle, reduce the associated cost of proving
security policy compliance, and focus on an information-centric security
strategy, said Steve Norall, Senior Analyst at Taneja Group. "EMC, along
with RSA, is taking the right approach by encouraging customers to focus on
securing the information itself no matter where it resides or how it is
transmitted, while providing a robust access control and audit
infrastructure for safeguarding the information."
EMC Global Services helps customers get the maximum value out of their
information strategies through 10,000 skilled professional providing
consulting, implementation, integration, solution, education, management,
and support services.
