Companies to Deliver Flexibility and Choice as the Real Estate Industry
Strives to Protect Multiple Listing Service and Association Information
BEDFORD, Mass., March 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- RSA Security Inc.
(Nasdaq: RSAS) today announced that the company has forged a strategic
partnership with Rapattoni Corporation, a leading software and services
provider to the real estate industry, to provide stronger online data security
for multiple listing services (MLSs) and real estate associations.
Specifically, Rapattoni will incorporate RSA(R) SecurID(R) technology into its
Rapattoni Secure Logon program, helping an MLS or association to establish --
with certainty -- the identity of a person accessing data online. By pairing
RSA Security's expertise in securing data with Rapattoni's real estate
industry prominence, the companies offer a compelling alternative to solutions
currently available to the real estate industry.
Rapattoni's Secure Logon program provides stronger security for users
accessing Internet-based MLS systems. This stronger security is provided via
RSA SecurID strong authentication tokens -- small devices that fit on a
keychain and display a six-digit numeric passcode that changes randomly every
60 seconds. Users enter the passcode along with a traditional password to
access data online. Because users provide something they know (their
password) and something they have (the token's random passcode), the system
helps to ensure that data is available only to authorized users. The
traditional model of the token displays a passcode, which the user manually
enters. In addition, USB-enabled tokens allow users to connect the device to
a computer's USB port, and have the passcode automatically submitted.
"We are very impressed with RSA Security technology and believe it will
enable us to better protect our customers' private data," said Andy Rapattoni,
president and CEO of Rapattoni Corporation. "It will help make us easily more
competitive in both price and features than other vendors, and provide a
broader range of options for organizations within the real estate industry. By
teaming with RSA Security we will continue to set the standard for flexibility
and security within the real estate industry."
"As the industry works to fend off constant threats to private data, it is
critical that MLSs and other real estate organizations have both choice and
access to the most proven solutions on the market," said Toffer Winslow, vice
president of product marketing and management at RSA Security. "Rapattoni's
reputation as a trusted service provider to the real estate industry is
outstanding, and we expect this partnership to enable both companies to more
effectively meet the needs of the industry."
