ChannelTimes Staff
International Desk, Apr 12, 2008
RSA, the security division of EMC, recently announced a series of initiatives and solutions designed to support its Information Risk Management strategy and the alignment of business and IT security priorities.
The announcements include the re-drawing of RSA's authentication and access management business; the launch of the RSA Data Security System, comprising products and services that are engineered to deliver comprehensive data loss prevention, as well as encryption and key management; and a range of new, information-centric security services.
"The information security industry's evolving transformation is today being fueled by the need for security to be firmly aligned with business strategy, with the result that organizations are increasingly looking at security in the context of risk," said Art Coviello, EVP at EMC Corporation and president at RSA. "By helping our customers to understand and address the risk that their high-value information is exposed to throughout its lifecycle, security becomes a true enabler of innovation, and critical business initiatives can be undertaken with confidence."
The initiatives announced will help enable customers to effectively recognize, assess and mitigate the risk that information will encounter at any point in its lifecycle. Information Risk Management is an information-centric strategy, allowing customers to determine what should be protected; where the risks are; and how to best prioritize security investments to drive the business forward.
RSA s new initiatives and solutions include: new identity assurance solution that enables secure, easy & intelligent access to enterprise information and applications; and RSATM Data Security System - a set of products and services to deliver a holistic approach for securing data.
RSA also introduced its new RSA Key Manager for the data center offering, which is designed to centralize and streamline key lifecycle management throughout the enterprise. It works across multiple encryption points in the enterprise, including tape, disk, virtual tape, databases, and file systems leveraging RSA, EMC, and a partner ecosystem for fully-integrated solutions. From the outset, the offering is interoperable with EMC PowerPath software, EMC Connectrix MDS and Oracle Database 11g, among others.
Incidentally, EMC announced 5 new professional services, designed to enable customers to address information-centric security, using risk and policy as key drivers. The new services will help organizations to review security policy, assess risk, discover and classify sensitive information, develop security programs, and assess storage security.
