RSA SecurID® Two-Factor Authentication
The gold standard in two-factor authenticationThe RSA SecurID® authentication system is relied upon by thousands of organizations worldwide to protect valuable network resources. Used in conjunction with RSA® Authentication Manager, an RSA SecurID authenticator requires users to identify themselves with two unique factors – something they know and something they have – before they are granted access. Signing AuthenticatorThe system is easy to use and manage, and results in centrally enforced security that provides a faster return-on-investment in most e-business initiatives. RSA SecurID authenticators help organizations protect private information and manage the identities of people, devices and applications exchanging that information. They are designed to fit seamlessly into the existing e-business infrastructures of our approximately 20,000 customers worldwide. With a 20-year history of outstanding performance and innovation, RSA’s authentication solutions remain an industry standard for organizations looking to protect their key business data assets. RSA SecurID authenticators provide organizations with Strong network security and makes Security easy to implement and use both internally and remotely
Protection of Infrastructure InvestmentsThrough the RSA SecurID Ready® program, the products of more than 200 leading vendors of firewalls, remote access servers and VPNs support RSA SecurID authentication right out of the box. In addition, RSA® Authentication Agent software is available to allow the addition of two-factor authentication to network operating systems and applications, including Windows operating environments and web-based applications. This high level of interoperability allows administrators to protect initial authentication investments and is unmatched in the industry. Transaction Signing CapabilitiesRSA’s new transaction signing authenticator is compatible with RSA SecurID Authentication Engine, a lightweight and easy-to-implement authentication software solution that can easily integrate directly into an organization’s home-grown, externally facing applications. The RSA SecurID Authentication Engine is designed to fit into an organization’s existing infrastructure and will simply validate a user’s identity using a passcode. It will also validate the user’s "signature" when presented with a response value by a user and validate that signature against the transaction data. The Integrity and Assurance of Industry StandardsRSA SecurID authenticators have been designed to take advantage of the industry-standard Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) algorithm. Customers enjoy the integrity and assurance of quality provided by reliance on the AES algorithm. A Wide Variety of Form Factors and OptionsThe RSA SecurID system is one of the world’s leading two-factor user authentication solutions. With the broadest range of easy-to-use form factors, there are RSA SecurID authenticators available to suit the requirements of every organization. RSA offers both hardware and software authenticators that provide strong authentication access to corporate assets using familiar devices that users already have. RSA SecurID tokens also support qualified smart cards or USB authenticators. Strong Network SecurityEach RSA SecurID authenticator has a unique symmetric key that is combined with a powerful algorithm to generate a new code every 60 seconds. Because the number is unpredictable and dynamic, it would be extremely difficult for a hacker to guess the correct number at any given time. Patented technology synchronizes each authenticator with the security server, ensuring a high level of security. This protection is priceless when the risk of exposing critical information resources is considered. Security Made EasyRSA SecurID authenticators are as simple to use as entering a password, but much more secure. Each end user is assigned an RSA SecurID authenticator that generates a one-time-use code. When logging on, the user simply enters this number plus a secret Personal Identification Number (PIN) to be successfully authenticated. As an added benefit, RSA SecurID hardware tokens are pre-programmed to be fully functional upon receipt. Administrators quickly find that the RSA SecurID solution can be much less expensive to manage than passwords. Flexible Security SolutionsThe RSA SecurID solution can allow organizations to drive down the total cost of ownership of many applications. RSA SecurID authenticators can be used by employees, business partners and customers. Whether they require access to remote access servers, VPNs, email, wireless networks, network operating systems, intranets, extranets, web servers or other information or applications hosted on UNIX/Linux servers or Microsoft® Windows® networks, RSA SecurID authentication helps to ensure that only authorized users are allowed entry to the network.
