Strategic business value of security and NEXUS architecture drive new product
naming conventions
BEDFORD, Mass., May 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- As part of its strategy to
bring all of its solutions onto a common identity management system, RSA
Security Inc. (Nasdaq: RSAS) today announced its intent to introduce new
product naming conventions over the next six months.
The genesis of the new product branding was last year's unveiling of RSA
Security's next-generation identity management system, codenamed "NEXUS."
NEXUS is designed to integrate RSA Security's solutions onto a single common
platform, and to serve as the foundation for the company's future
authentication and access management solutions.
The new naming conventions will affect the company's products beginning
this quarter and will continue throughout the year. New product introductions
will immediately reflect the new naming conventions. The company's recognized
authentication and encryption brands, RSA SecurID(R) authentication and RSA
BSAFE(R) encryption, will not be affected.
"For comprehensive identity management solutions to add broad business
value, they must be easy to deploy, manage and maintain," said John Worrall,
vice president of worldwide marketing at RSA Security. "NEXUS delivers on
that promise by integrating some of the industry's most powerful e-security
products under a single technology architecture. Our new product naming
convention will reflect this integration."
The change reflects a market shift to deploy the company's identity and
access management solutions as business enablement tools, as well as the
growing importance of security in a connected world.
About NEXUS
The NEXUS architecture features a standards-based set of common services
that allow for central administration and tighter integration between various
components of a complete identity management system. Components of the NEXUS
architecture are already used in the RSA ClearTrust(R) web access management
solution, the RSA Validation Manager solution and in RSA Mobile technology.
Additionally, the company's secure enterprise access solutions will feature
components of NEXUS beginning in June 2004. This modular, but integrated
approach will allow customers to choose the solution they need today and then
leverage their investment to further expand their identity management
infrastructure to include other RSA Security solutions and partner products in
the future.
