New RSA Business-Driven Security™ Solutions Bridge the ‘Gap of Grief’

New RSA Business-Driven Security™ Solutions Bridge the ‘Gap of Grief’

Helps Customers Align Security Incidents to Business Risk

SINGAPORE, February 14,
2017 – 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 protection and 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® Access designed 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 and secure
access to a multitude of applications, from the latest devices, from anywhere
with the newly repackaged RSA SecurID Access offering. 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 SecurID Access
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 critical enhancements 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.

Know What Risks Matter
– Faster

RSA announced the
availability of RSA Archer® Ignition Program,
a combination of proven Governance Risk and Compliance (GRC) use cases, quick
launch services and education offerings for a streamlined, accelerated approach
designed to manage business risk. The program empowers organizations to manage
multiple configurations of risk on one integrated software platform. It aims to
help reduce risk within the business, generate quick wins in the context of a
broader risk management strategy, and provide a foundation to mature the program
based on business needs.

New Risk &
Cybersecurity Practice

RSA announced the new RSA Risk & Cybersecurity
Practice that helps operationalize Business-Driven Security
architecture by helping to reduce business risk through systematic and
continuous enablement for clients to manage identity, protect their assets, and
detect, respond and recover from cyber attacks.

The RSA Risk & Cybersecurity Practice consists
of four specialty practices focusing on risk management, identity assurance,
advanced cyber defense and incident response. The practice features RSA’s
battle-tested expertise, staffed by 650 security consultants; a flexible procurement
model offering managers greater autonomy over their timelines and budgets;
accelerated engagement through pre-packaged services focused on business-driven
results; and, specialist teams focused on delivering customized Business-Driven
Security solutions.

These solutions announced today expand RSA’s
current portfolio, which already delivers benefits of a Business-Driven
Security through:   

·        Rapid investigation of authentication failures
to more confidently respond and contain threats: RSA SecurID Access is engineered to provide
insight into authentication patterns to help identify potentially high-risk
behaviors in the RSA NetWitness Suite. This helps accelerate detection of
malicious activity, provides context to investigation, and provides deep
understanding of business risk based on identities and authentication attempts.

·        Prioritization of incidents based on business
context: Incidents identified
as abnormal by RSA NetWitness technology’s behavioral analytics capabilities
are weighted in terms of asset value in RSA Archer® Suite, allowing security
personnel to review incidents that have the greatest bearing on the business
first.

·        Escalation of responses to suspicious user
activity: Data feeds pertaining
to incidents, alerts, and events that are identified by RSA NetWitness
technology are matched with data in RSA Archer Suite to determine the
criticality of each asset that is potentially at risk. This
accelerates investigations using business context of assets at risk.
