RSA Authentication Solutions

RSA's broad and innovative authentication solutions are offered via Software-as-a-Service, on-premise applications and appliance form factors, and include:

* RSA SecurID®, the market-leading two-factor authentication system used by more 40 million people across more than 30,000 organizations worldwide, is engineered to assure user identities and protect against unauthorized access to applications and resources across numerous physical locations. RSA SecurID technology is comprised of both a broad range of hardware and software authenticators that provide end users with a one time password that is designed to change every 60 seconds, as well as its software engine - RSA® Authentication Manager - which scales to support millions of users and provides the benefit of technical certification with more than 300 products. RSA SecurID authenticators include: hardware tokens, USB-based hybrid authenticator with smart chip; On-Demand SMS tokens and a business continuity option to provide a temporary, expanded license to support a rapidly growing remote workforce; mobile software tokens available on many smartphone platforms including iPhone® and BlackBerry®, USB flash devices, biometric devices, and trusted computing platforms; and desktop software tokens that support Microsoft® Windows® and Mac OS X platforms and an Internet toolbar.

* RSA® Adaptive Authentication, a risk-based authentication platform used by more than 10,000 organizations worldwide in the healthcare, financial services, government, insurance, automotive, real estate, manufacturing, and pharmaceutical industries. It is designed for large, distributed enterprise environments to help assure user identities using the RSA® Risk Engine self-learning risk indicators - such as device identification, user behavior profiling, and fraud data from the RSA eFraudNetwork? community - before interacting with corporate resources and online applications. RSA Adaptive Authentication is engineered to provide convenience for end users through transparent authentication, invoking visible authentication methods such as challenge questions or out-of-band authentication in the event user activity appears unusual or exceeds established policies based upon risk profiles. The RSA Adaptive Authentication platform currently protects more than 225 million people online.

* RSA® Identity Verification, a strong authentication solution designed to confirm user identities in real-time and help prevent the risk of identity theft and fraud. Utilizing knowledge-based authentication technology, RSA Identity Verification is engineered to present a user with a series of top-of-mind questions using facts about the individual, obtained by scanning dozens of publicly and commercially available record databases, delivering a confirmation of a user's identity within seconds without requiring a prior relationship with the user. Its Identity Event Module helps improve accuracy and security by measuring the level of risk associated with an identity and allowing the system to adjust the difficulty of the questions during the authentication process to meet the specific nature of the risk. RSA Identity Verification is used by more than 200 organizations in the financial, telecommunications, insurance, and healthcare industries.

* RSA® Digital Certificate Solutions, interoperable modules designed to manage digital certificates and create an environment for authenticated, private and legally binding electronic communications and transactions.
