RSA SecurID has a long and successful history in protecting<br />
sensitive information <strong>of</strong> the government. Go-<br />
changes every 60 seconds. By requiring users to provide<br />
rithms available) to generate a one-time password that<br />
ing back to before the Internet and continuing with a combination <strong>of</strong> something they know (their password)<br />
innovations that strengthen passwords in new and and something they have (the RSA SecurID one-time<br />
emerging infrastructures including cloud and mobility, password), RSA SecurID allows users gain secure access<br />
RSA SecurID is the industry’s most trusted two-factor to VPNs, wireless access points, cloud applications, web<br />
authentication solution. With government being an early applications, mobile applications and network operating<br />
innovator in interconnected networking (i.e. DARPA and systems – ensuring that private information is protected<br />
ARPANET) RSA SecurID was the first solution there to and the the identities <strong>of</strong> people, devices and applications<br />
exchanging that information are legitimate. Build-<br />
protect sensitive government information and applications.<br />
Used by more than 40 million users within 30,000 ing on its market-leading capabilities, RSA introduced<br />
organizations worldwide, RSA SecurID is the standard the industry’s first authentication platform that combines<br />
strong two-factor authentication with intelligence-<br />
for two-factor authentication solutions, reliably assuring<br />
the identities <strong>of</strong> users, devices and applications by driven, risk-based authentication. RSA Authentication<br />
using a proven algorithm (AES-128 which is recognized Manager (the brains behind RSA SecurID) uses Big Data<br />
by NIST as one <strong>of</strong> the strongest symmetric key algo- analytics to increase identity assurance by transparently<br />
