RSA Security Announces First Quarter Results

        Company To Host Conference Call This Afternoon at 4:30 p.m. ET

    BEDFORD, Mass., April 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- RSA Security Inc.
(Nasdaq: RSAS) today reported financial results for the first quarter ended
March 31, 2005.
    Revenue for the first quarter of 2005 increased 5% to $75.6 million from
$72.0 million for the first quarter of 2004.  Net income for the first quarter
of 2005 increased 12% to $7.2 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, from $6.5
million, or $0.10 per diluted share, for the comparable period a year ago.
    "While we experienced slower than anticipated uptake rates during the
first quarter, we remain confident in our ability to build upon our leadership
position in identity management," said Art Coviello, president and chief
executive officer of RSA Security.

    First-Quarter Financial Overview
     * Revenue:  Revenue for the first quarter of 2005 increased 5% to $75.6
       million from $72.0 million for the first quarter of 2004.  The Company
       experienced a slower than expected growth rate in software sales in
       both Europe and the Americas.  RSA Security's book-to-bill ratio for
       the quarter was approximately 1.0 to 1, and the Company closed the
       quarter with $59.2 million in combined backlog and deferred revenue.
       This represents a 19% increase from RSA Security's $49.9 million in
       backlog and deferred revenue at March 31, 2004.
     * Net Income:  Net income for the first quarter of 2005 increased 12% to
       $7.2 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, from $6.5 million, or $0.10
       per diluted share, from the first quarter of 2004.
     * Cash Position:  Cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities
       decreased to $282.3 million at March 31, 2005 from $289.7 million at
       December 31, 2004.  During the quarter, in accordance with the
       Company's approved stock buyback plan, RSA Security repurchased
       750,000 shares of its common stock for $12.4 million.

    Operational Overview
     * Customers and Partners:  RSA Security shipped product to more than
       5,400 customers in the first quarter, including 622 new customers.
       While the technology, financial services, professional services and
       manufacturing sectors generated the most revenue for the Company,
       revenue from the technology vertical market was lower than
       anticipated.  RSA Security sold approximately 77% of its RSA
       SecurID(R) products through its indirect channel during the first
       quarter of 2005, consistent with the first quarter of 2004.

    Business Outlook
    RSA Security's financial guidance for the second quarter of 2005 is only
current as of today, Wednesday, April 27th, 2005, and the Company undertakes
no obligation to update its estimates:
     * Total quarterly revenue in the range of $76 million to $80 million.
     * Diluted earnings per share in the range of $0.10 to $0.13.
