RSA enables customers to cost-effectively secure critical information assets and online identities wherever they live and at every step of the way, and manage security information and events to ease the burden of compliance.
RSA offers industry-leading solutions in identity assurance & access control, encryption & key management, compliance & security information management and fraud protection. These solutions bring trust to millions of user identities, the transactions that they perform, and the data that is generated. RSA, The Security Division of EMC, was formed in September 2006 following EMC Corporation's acquisitions of RSA Security and Network Intelligence.
Metadigm are RSA 'Select Partners' demonstrating a solid track record in providing RSA solutions. You'll benefit from the finest technical support for your chosen RSA solution, from an experienced and dedicated team.
EMC's information-centric security strategy enables customers to cost-effectively secure and protect critical information assets at every stage of the information lifecycle. EMC's entrance into the information security market with RSA Security and Network Intelligence has changed the information security landscape, and set a new bar for protecting information and transactions.

The Top Six Reasons RSA SecurID is the Gold Standard in Two-Factor User Authentication...
It all boils down to excellence in each of the categories listed below. These are the reasons why RSA SecurID is the authentication choice of over 25,000 customers worldwide.
- 1. Strength
- 2. Integration
- 3. Broad
- 4. Flexible & Powerful
- 5. Scalability & Quality
- 6. Support & Innovation
The Strongest and Easiest to Use One Time Password Security Solution
To protect your organisation's most critical information assets, you need a security system that is second to none.
RSA SecurID authentication offers a unique, time-synchronous solution that automatically changes the user's password every 60 seconds. This makes our solution more secure than event-synchronous systems with passwords that can be valid for an indefinite period of time and easier to use than challenge-response systems that require multiple steps to generate a valid code.
What's more, RSA SecurID authentication is built upon the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) algorithm, a recognised standard that is continuously scrutinised and challenged by cryptologists around the world to ensure its strength and dependability.
RSA, with its research arm RSA Laboratories, is recognised as a leading firm in the field of cryptography. RSA continue to evolve their solutions to meet emerging threats. By investing in RSA SecurID authentication you're getting a proven and tested solution that will meet your needs for years down the road.
Interoperability with Your Infrastructure
Built-in integration with more than 200 leading vendors of firewalls, remote access servers and wireless access points means fewer headaches for you.
We want to be sure that your integration process will be as trouble-free as possible and so RSA Security has invested in a broad program to ensure that our products interoperate with most of the major network infrastructure products on the market.
To earn the RSA Secured seal of approval vendors undergo a rigorous vetting process. Solutions are documented through in-depth Implementation Guides.
With the strong support of the RSA Secured program you can be sure that RSA SecurID authentication can protect your enterprise data no matter what else changes in your environment.
Do More With What You Have
Most people purchase RSA SecurID authentication to protect their remote access systems. But with this solution, that's just the beginning.
When you invest in RSA SecurID, for no additional cost you can add strong, two-factor authentication to your wireless LAN, dramatically reducing the risk of parking lot hackers accessing your most critical systems.
After that you could add two-factor authentication to:
- Your Board of Directors collaboration web site
- Your Cisco and Citrix environments
- Your enterprise single sign-on solution
- And more...
All of this functionality comes with no additional expense, offering you maximum flexibility and investment protection as you increase the ROI of your RSA SecurID installation.
Don't Get Locked Into a Single Authentication Method or Server Configuration
Maximise your return on investment by ensuring that your security system will evolve with your business needs.
Though RSA is most well-known for our hardware tokens, RSA offer a broad array of authenticators to suit any situation:
Authenticators
USB Device |
Hardware | An ideal choice for a wide range of environments where various authentication methods (e.g. One Time Passwords, Digital Certificates, Microsoft Login Credentials), application and user needs exist |
|---|---|---|
Key Fob |
Hardware | Enables secure authentication using a convenient hardware device small enough to attach as a keychain |
PC |
Software | An optimal selection for end users who typically access their accounts from only one or two PCs and prefer not to carry devices |
Smart Phone |
Software | Allows one-time passwords to be generated on end-user's Smart Phones, enabling them to securely access network resources without having to carry a separate device. |
Browser Toolbar |
Software | Provides a convenient two-factor authentication option for web-based resources |
SMS/E-mail |
On-demand | A strong fit for temporary employees and business continuity needs, this zero-footprint offering allows end-users to receive a one-time password via SMS or e-mail. |
RSA also offers a wide range of server offerings:
Server Solutions
RSA Authentication Manager Base Edition |
An ideal choice for a medium size business. Provides 2 servers for master/replica configuration. |
|---|---|
RSA Authentication Manager Enterprise Edition |
Master server, up to ten replicas, and multiple realm capacity makes this the choice for larger enterprises. Includes Deployment Manager software. |
RSA SecurID Appliance |
Base or Enterprise Edition license on a turnkey hardware platform. Hardened Windows operating system included. Easy installation makes it well suited for SMB customers and remote offices |
RSA SecurID Authentication Engine |
For customers wishing to integrate strong authentication into an existing management infrastructure. SAE provides the RSA SecurID authentication engine and programming interfaces. |
Designed to be a Mission Critical Application
RSA invests heavily in our testing labs to ensure that our solution meets your demanding requirements. Our tokens are better, and we have the numbers to prove it.
With a mission-critical application, downtime can mean missed opportunities and lost revenue. That's why redundancy, automated fail-over, support for high-availability servers and cross realm authentication are all available features on the RSA SecurID Authentication Manager.
Token quality is also extremely important to us. Every RSA SecurID token is sealed to protect it from the elements and to prevent tampering. RSA SecurID hardware tokens are subjected to rigorous tests to ensure that you never get hit with hidden costs due to token failures.
Tested. Scalable to support mission-critical applications.
Tests include:
- Temperature cycling: Includes a -20°C to 70°C for 25 cycles with each cycle taking 2 hours and 1.5 hours for ramp time.
- High humidity: Includes 95% humidity with 35°C for 96 hours, followed by a gradual decrease to 23°C and 50% humidity.
- Random vibration: Includes an acceleration of 15 Grms with a frequency of 10-2000 Hz with duration of one hour per each of three axis (X, Y, &Z).
- Mechanical shock: Includes a shock of 3500 g's with a pulse time of 0.5ms on all 3 axis of the unit.
- ESD: The minimum engineering requirement is 15Kv (pos and neg). Tumble testing: Tumbling takes place in a hexagonal tumbling drum. Tumble at 20 RPMs for 60 minutes.
- Run-over check: An automobile will drive over the fobs with a single rear tire.
- Immersion check: This will check the ability of the RSA SecurID tokens to withstand immersion in water.
RSA stand behind their reputation for quality with a warrantee on every token for its lifespan.
