RSA SecurID(R) for Microsoft(R) Windows(R) 2.0 solution increases flexibility,
usability and scalability for Microsoft Windows customers
BEDFORD, Mass., July 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- RSA Security Inc.
(Nasdaq: RSAS) today announced RSA(R) Authentication Manager 6.1, the
enterprise software powering RSA SecurID(R) two-factor authentication
technology, which now delivers 802.1X-based security for organizations with
both wired and wireless environments. RSA Security also unveiled RSA SecurID
for Microsoft(R) Windows(R) 2.0 solution and announced broader platform
support -- including server environments based on Linux, HP-UX and IBM(R)
AIX(R) operating systems -- providing greater flexibility and choice for
customers seeking the security benefits of strong authentication. These
solutions also help meet the needs of customers seeking to leverage strong
authentication within the enterprise.
As organizations deploy wireless business networks, there is an increasing
need to ensure that data are secure in unwired environments, as underscored by
a March 2005 survey by RSA Security which revealed that more than one-third of
wireless business networks were insecure. With a RADIUS server powered by a
specialized version of Funk Software's Steel-Belted Radius(R), RSA
Authentication Manager 6.1 software offers 802.1X support to help protect
sensitive corporate data within wired and wireless networks. The software
also supports a number of Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) methods,
including EAP-Protected One-Time Password (EAP-POTP), an open specification
for wired/wireless strong authentication.
RSA SecurID for Microsoft Windows 2.0 Solution
RSA Security also delivered new capabilities and key enhancements to RSA
SecurID for Microsoft Windows solution with the release of version 2.0. New
capabilities include:
* Improved policy management capabilities for Microsoft Windows
administrators
* Enhanced usability for an improved end-user experience
* Seamless password integration with Microsoft Windows administrator
utilities
* Increased scalability, including high-availability and reduced storage
costs
* Complete integration with the RSA SecurID SID800 USB-enabled
authenticator
"As organizations grapple with ever-changing threats to corporate data
security, RSA Security is committed to delivering the greatest range of
flexibility and choice in strong authentication," said John Worrall, vice
president of worldwide marketing at RSA Security. "The RSA Authentication
Manager 6.1 release, which includes RSA SecurID for Microsoft Windows 2.0
solution, offers a range of solutions that meet the needs of our customers
worldwide, particularly in terms of addressing authentication inside the
firewall."
RSA Authentication Manager 6.1 and RSA SecurID for Microsoft Windows 2.0
will be available worldwide in October of 2005.
