RSA Extends Identity Assurance to the Cloud
KuppingerCole European Identity and Cloud Conference RSA, a Dell Technologies business, extends its authentication market leadership with a series of new capabilities for its RSA SecurID Access solution. Enhancements include a cloud-based Authentication-as-a-Service option aimed at delivering seamless access to both on-premises and cloud-based resources and systems, and additional dynamic, risk scoring functionality that is designed to deliver convenient and secure access for any user, anywhere, any time.
As cloud and mobile use grows, and the user access base expands to include contractors, vendors, partners and customers, organizations are provisioning access to more systems, creating a larger, evolving attack surface, primarily targeting identities. Identity innovations from RSA are engineered to enable customers to reimagine their identity strategies to better protect all of their critical business assets whether on-premises or in the cloud against identity-based attacks, meet compliance requirements and deliver more flexible authentication options for the modern workforce.
“Organizations must balance user demands for convenient and secure access while ensuring users are who they claim to be,” said John Tolbert, Senior Analyst, KuppingerCole. “RSA SecurID Access now features a platform for integrating a variety of MFA options to right-size authentication to business risk, unite islands of identity domains, and promote interoperability with other IAM solutions.”
