 Company Generates Revenue of $76.5 Million and Earnings Per Share of $0.12;
                     Increases Stock Repurchase Program;
Financial Results for the Second Quarter and Guidance for the Third and Fourth
    Quarters to be Discussed on Conference Call Today at 4:30 p.m. E.D.T.

    BEDFORD, Mass., July 21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- RSA Security Inc.
(Nasdaq: RSAS) today reported financial results for the second quarter ended
June 30, 2005.
    Revenue for the second quarter of 2005 increased to $76.5 million from
$75.6 million for the second quarter of 2004.  Net income for the second
quarter of 2005 increased 6% to $8.5 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, from
$8.0 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, for the comparable period a year
ago.
    "While we improved our performance this quarter in several key areas, we
fully expect to capture greater earnings and growth momentum in the second
half of the year," said Art Coviello, president and chief executive officer of
RSA Security.  "We expect the rollout of our new RSA SecurWorld(TM) partner
program and the sales momentum of several new authentication products will
position us to drive these improvements."
    The Company also announced that its board of directors has authorized the
repurchase of an additional 2.0 million shares of the Company's common stock
under its share repurchase program originally announced in September 2004.
The board of directors also extended the share repurchase program until June
30, 2006.  The original plan authorized the repurchase of up to 6.7 million
shares of the Company's common stock during 2004 and 2005. As of June 30,
2005, under the original plan, there were 5.1 million shares available for
repurchase.

    Second-Quarter Financial Highlights

    * Revenue:  Revenue for the second quarter of 2005 increased to $76.5
      million from $75.6 million for the second quarter of 2004.  RSA
      Security's book-to-bill ratio for the quarter was approximately 1.0 to
      1, and the Company closed the quarter with $62.0 million in combined
      backlog and deferred revenue.  This represents a 13% increase from RSA
      Security's $55.1 million in backlog and deferred revenue at June 30,
      2004.

    * Net Income:  Net income for the second quarter of 2005 increased 6% to
      $8.5 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, from $8.0 million, or $0.12
      per diluted share, from the second quarter of 2004.

    * Cash Position:  Cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities
      decreased to $284.2 million at June 30, 2005 from $289.7 million at
      December 31, 2004.  During the quarter, in accordance with the Company's
      approved share repurchase program, RSA Security repurchased 777,600
      shares of its common stock for $8.6 million.

    Operational Highlights

    * Customers:  RSA Security shipped product to approximately 5,400
      customers in the second quarter, including 683 new customers.  With
      these new customers, RSA Security's overall customer base now stands at
      more than 18,000 worldwide.

    * RSA SecurWorld(TM) Partner Program:  RSA Security launched its new RSA
      SecurWorld(TM) partner program in the second quarter.  This program was
      created in conjunction with RSA Security's existing partners and is
      focused on driving greater volume through the channel, increasing new
      customer acquisition rates and driving greater revenue and profitability
      from new products.  This new program includes incentives for partners
      that drive new business and sell new products, as well as for partners
      who receive sales and technical certification.

    * Products:  RSA Security shipped an increased number of SD 700s, one of
      the newest releases in its family of authentication credentials.
      Additionally, in the second quarter, RSA Security began shipping its SD
      800 USB-enabled tokens, as well as the RSA SecurID(R) Appliance.  The
      USB-enabled combo token device enables customers to manage a broad range
      of credentials, including one-time-passwords, digital certificates and
      static passwords in a convenient easy-to-carry device.  The RSA
      SecurID(R) Appliance has an intuitive user interface and is designed to
      be easy to deploy, providing small-to-medium sized businesses
      significantly higher levels of security.

      RSA Security also announced its new RSA BSAFE(R) Data Security Manager
      software, which is scheduled to be released in the third quarter.  This
      product allows enterprises to secure their digital assets. RSA BSAFE
      Data Security Manager enables companies to more easily enforce security
      policies, provides audit and usage logs in order to meet regulatory
      requirements and enables strong data security to be incorporated into
      applications and databases.

    Business Outlook
    While the third quarter is typically a seasonally slower quarter, the
Company expects increased levels of business activity from new products in the
second half of this year. Therefore, the Company is providing financial
guidance for both the third and fourth quarters of 2005.
    RSA Security's financial guidance for the third and fourth quarters of
