New RSA Security Solutions Bridge the ‘Gap of Grief’

RSA, a Dell Technologies business, unveiled RSA Business-Driven Security architecture, a new approach to help customers manage cyber risk and protect what matters most. This architecture, along with several solution offerings, enables customers of all sizes to more quickly and efficiently take command of their risk posture.

RSA Business-Driven Security solutions, also announced today, are designed to address this proactive approach to security, incorporating new capabilities in rapid response and threat detection, identity and access assurance, consumer fraud protectionand business risk management.

 In spite of the $75 billion spent on cyber security in 2016, organizations are still struggling to link business context to security details fast enough to make critical decisions. Security and business leaders are experiencing the “gap of grief” – the inability to fully understand to what degree security incidents translate to quantifiable business risk. 

“Despite best efforts, today’s security approaches are in dire need of transformation because they fall short when they are put into action. This forces organizations into a downward cycle of investment and re-investment,” said Rohit Ghai, President, RSA. “RSA is proud to provide a new architecture and array of Business-Driven Security solutions that are engineered to enable the most critical elements of a sound security strategy: linking business context with security incidents to more strategically address and manage business risk to protect what matters most.”

 Business-Driven Security architecture and RSA’s solution announcements help close the gap of grief and deliver significant benefits, including radically improving the impact of security teams; reimagining identity strategies to accelerate business in a world without boundaries; and, delivering web and mobile consumer protection at the speed of fraud and faster ability to know what risks matter.

Triple the Impact of Your Security Team Across the Modern Enterprise

New capabilities for the RSA NetWitness® Suite are engineered to provide essential visibility and actionable insight to detect advanced threats faster, connect the dots between network, endpoint and log data, and fully understand the scope of compromise. The new capabilities include collecting data from the public cloud (Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure® public cloud computing platform) and virtual environments (VMWare® virtual solutions and the Gigamon® platform) along with all physical infrastructure. The suite is designed to now enable organizations to monitor any modern infrastructure, allowing for flexibility and ease of deployment.

As an illustration of RSA NetWitness’s capabilities, the suite was used to identify the malware used in a pair of new attacks – Kingslayer and Schoolbell – and provided out-of-the-box content for finding behaviors that are associated with the groups that experts suspect to have perpetrated the attacks. RSA Research recently published the findings of Kingslayer and Schoolbell.

Reimagine Your Identity Strategy to Accelerate Business in a World without Boundaries

RSA announced unified enhancements to RSA SecurID® Accessdesigned to enable organizations to accelerate their business while also minimizing identity risk. By leveraging innovative risk analytics and context-based awareness, RSA SecurID Access identity and access assurance solutions help to strengthen security, ensure compliance, and minimize security friction for end users. 

In addition, organizations of all sizes can deliver convenient andsecure access to a multitude of applications, from the latest devices, from anywhere with the newly repackaged RSA SecurID Accessoffering. It brings together industry-leading multi-factor authentication and access management capabilities. Through its time tested RSA Ready Program, RSA has certified more than 500 SaaS and on-premises applications to be interoperable with RSA SecurIDAccess technology.

Deliver Consumer Protection at the Speed of Fraud

RSA announced the latest release in the RSA® Fraud & Risk Intelligence Suite, a centralized solution that helps improve cross-channel fraud detection and investigation. These criticalenhancements are designed to allow organizations to pull additional fraud intelligence from their business and other anti-fraud tools for better visibility and response to cybercrime attacks occurring across web and mobile sessions. 

Organizations can leverage the RSA Fraud & Risk Intelligence Suite to correlate cross–channel risk indicators and invoke biometrics or transaction signing by using the RSA® Anti-Fraud Mobile SDK for a seamless user experience. This suite is engineered to take advantage of valuable session intelligence and continuous monitoring to impact the risk score assessment so organizations can apply full fraud analytics to align with their risk tolerance, user population and regulations.
