Company plans to employ 400 people at the Centre by 2008
BANGALORE, India, April 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- RSA Security Inc.
(Nasdaq: RSAS), the global expert in protecting online identities and digital
assets, today announced its plans to open the company's first development
centre in India.
Sited in Bangalore, the centre will expand RSA Security's presence in
India and enhance its expert competencies in developing identity and access
management solutions to meet the emerging demands of the international
security market. The Bangalore Development Centre will operate in tandem with
RSA Security's other development centres located in Brisbane, Australia;
Bedford, USA; Herzelia, Israel; and Chennai, India, at HCL Technologies, Inc.
Outlining plans for the development centre, Stan Swiniarski, vice
president of Engineering (Identity & Access Management) at RSA Security, said,
"The opening of our Bangalore Development Centre is scheduled for September
2006 and showcases the commitment RSA Security has to the growing
international security industry. The Bangalore Development Centre will
oversee the Company's award-winning identity and access management software
products and will also play a key role in building mission-critical consumer
solutions for authentication and extending our current fraud protection
offerings."
"The Bangalore Development Centre will function as an independent software
development centre sharing tools and best practices with RSA Security's other
facilities while managing the total life-cycle of its own key product
portfolios. This will bring greater efficiencies to our organization, while
maintaining close coordination among engineering projects. It is expected
that the development centre will house 100 employees by the end of 2006,
spanning software development, quality assurance and technical documentation.
The company plans to increase the number of employees to 200 by the end of
2007 and further ramp up the headcount to 400 people by 2008," continued Mr.
Swiniarski.
Noting that India has a vast talent pool, RSA Security will be looking at
home-grown Indian talent for all individual and management functions
encompassing software development, as well as product managers, Human
Resources personnel and finance specialists among others. Interested
candidates with solid enterprise Java (J2EE) experience and a passion for
software security are encouraged to submit their resumes to the career section
on our website http://www.rsasecurity.com.
Elaborating on the reasons for choosing India for RSA Security's fourth
development centre, Mr. Swiniarski said, "India's emerging global dominance in
the IT sector and a robust infrastructure have made it one of the world's
fastest-growing economies. We decided on Bangalore as the location
considering the vast talent pool that the city offers. We are impressed with
the level of excitement and energy in the technical professionals we have
spoken with during our recent visits. Another important driver is the
proximity to RSA Security's partners, like Microsoft, which already have a
strong presence in the city. Further, we plan to sponsor research activities
within universities in Bangalore and elsewhere, to promote the development of
best-of-breed security products."
