“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.”

Gill comments, “This is an exciting time to join RSA as it focuses to deliver business-driven security to organizations looking to more directly align their security strategy with a broader business impact. The company obviously has a long and successful track record in delivering customer value and I am truly excited by the opportunity to further align our business to the requirements of our EMEA customers and partners.”

The crowdsourced threat intelligence through Live Connect allows for faster identification of new attacks and more accurate prioritization of incidents. RSA will be adding both Threat Intelligence Platform (TIP) and Threat Intelligence Content (TIC) partners. The new TIP partners include ThreatConnect and Soltra, which manage various sources of threat intelligence (internal, 3rd party, open source, etc.). The new TIC partner, Recorded Future, provides a real-time threat intelligence product that collects, organizes, and analyzes web information to help security teams proactively defend against cyber attacks. These threat intelligence content providers are utilized by the RSA NetWitness Suite and are designed to offer security analysts real-time context about an investigation so they can more quickly detect and respond to an incident.

BEDFORD, MA, July 27, 2016 – RSA, The Security Division of EMC (NYSE: EMC), today unveiled the RSA NetWitness Suite, an advanced threat detection and response solution that helps security teams detect and understand the full scope of a compromise like never before. Adding new threat intelligence, behavioral, and automated analytics capabilities to one of the industry’s most advanced security analytics solution, the RSA NetWitness Suite is engineered to provide a deep level of insight that security teams need to contain and ultimately eradicate threats and limit consequential business impacts.

The strongest reported maturity levels were in the area of Protection. However, perimeter-based defense solutions are proving to be increasingly ineffective over time as cyber threats become more advanced. The categories of Response and Detection were ranked least mature in the region. Organizations must focus on executing preventative strategies and improving capabilities that offer complete visibility to detect and respond to advanced threats before they can impact the business.

As an integral part of the RSA SecurID Suite, RSA SecurID Access now offers next-generation identity assurance and additional multifactor authentication to any resource on-premise or in the cloud. By providing information around application sensitivity and user attributes to drive context-based identity assurance, RSA SecurID Access offers the most actionable insights into identities and access so administrators can make informed choices.

RSA, due to its a strong relationship with Berkshire Bank and its ability to bring several platforms together, suggested the RSA Archer platform as a natural fit when the bank was looking for a new GRC solution. After the implementation of the RSA Archer platform, the bank was able to tie together governance, risk, and compliance functions such as vendor due diligence, risks and controls, policies, business continuity, audit management, and reporting. The use of RSA Archer technology has improved the bank’s efficiency by eliminating duplication and the loss of work done in silos, and by automating key business functions. The implementation of the RSA Archer platform has also greatly reduced the time required by auditors to complete bank exams.
