Oblix NetPoint(TM) Now RSA SecurID(R)-Certified; Strategic Partnership Offers
Secure Solution
RSA(R) CONFERENCE, SAN FRANCISCO, April 11 /PRNewswire/ --
RSA Security Inc. (Nasdaq: RSAS) and Oblix, Inc. today announced that Oblix
has licensed the entire RSA suite of security solutions, making Oblix
NetPoint(TM) SSL-enabled and a highly secure solution for web access
management. Oblix NetPoint uses full server-side certificate-based SSL
supplied by RSA. This integrated solution provides customers with the ability
to avoid common security problems that result from SSL communications that
involve resident keys rather than server-side certificates.
Oblix NetPoint has also been certified RSA SecurID(R)-Ready and RSA
Keon(R)-Ready, which provides Oblix customers with full interoperability with
RSA Security's standards-based encryption and public key infrastructure (PKI)
products. Oblix has licensed RSA BSAFE(R) Cert-C certificate management
software, RSA BSAFE Crypto-C and RSA BSAFE SSL-C encryption software.
"RSA Security has a powerful line of security options for Global 2000
customers," said Shelley Wilson, vice president of marketing at Oblix. "As a
result, we are able to offer our customers the security solutions that best
suit their environments, without worrying about integration problems. Whether
they choose RSA SecurID authentication technology or RSA Keon software for
authentication, customers will benefit from deep integration with Oblix
NetPoint for both single sign-on and access control for their business
applications. Another plus for Oblix customers: RSA Security has a proven
track record for easy deployment. By integrating the RSA Security SSL and
encryption software into Oblix NetPoint, our customers receive a highly secure
access management solution."
"We are proud of our long relationship with Oblix, and believe that PKI
interoperability among solutions like Oblix NetPoint is an important driver of
e-business success," said Bill McQuaide, vice president of product marketing
at RSA Security. "Furthermore, Oblix offers a thoroughly SSL-enabled solution
and robust identity management capabilities, providing a low risk and a lower
cost of ownership for customers."

security solutions in the Web environment. These products include RSA BSAFE
encryption software, RSA SecurID authentication software and the RSA Keon
public key infrastructure (PKI) solution. Whether an organization needs
