Xceedium Teams With RSA To Provide Interoperable Authentication And Policy Enforcement Technology
Certification formalizes a technical partnership and allows joint customers to leverage Xceedium's entitlement management solution to manage access to network resources for high-risk users through
the use of RSA SecurID two-factor authentication technology
JERSEY CITY, N.J. Xceedium, Inc., the premier provider of entitlement
management solutions that control high-risk users, today announced that it
has joined the RSA Secured' Partner Program and RSA, The Security Division
of EMC (NYSE: EMC), has certified interoperability between Xceediums
GateKeeper and the RSA SecurID' two-factor authentication solution. This
certification formalizes a technical partnership with RSA and allows joint
customers to leverage Xceediums comprehensive entitlement management
solution to manage access to network resources for high-risk users through
the use of RSA SecurID two-factor authentication technology.
The RSA SecurID two-factor authentication system is as simple to use as
entering a password, but significantly more secure. Used in conjunction with
RSA' Authentication Manager software, an RSA SecurID authenticator functions
like an ATM card for a company network, requiring users to identify
themselves with two unique factors something they know (a password or
PIN), and something they have (such as a hardware or software token)
before they are granted access to secure business information.
We are pleased that Xceedium has achieved interoperability between RSA
SecurID technology and Xceedium Gatekeeper as it is becoming more critical
than ever for our customers to increase the security and integrity of their
valuable information, said D.J. Long, Senior Director, Corporate
Development at RSA. Our organizations are committed to mitigating risk to
sensitive corporate and government information throughout its lifecycle to
ensure that it is always an asset and never a liability.
The Xceedium GateKeeper is a hardened appliance that provides restrictive
access, granular enforcement, logging and comprehensive reporting, enabling
centralized management of high-risk user entitlements and a simple,
cost-effective way to satisfy compliance requirements while maintaining high
levels of operational efficiency. Xceedium GateKeeper enforces controls by
compartmentalizing and containing high-risk users to authorized areas, then
monitors, logs, alerts, records and reports on all of their activities.
Xceediums worldwide customer list includes large government agencies,
financial institutions and mid-sized organizations that need solutions for
managing outsourcing risk, vendor access control, secure remote
administration or automating compliance for PCI DSS or HIPAA regulations.
According to recent research, inside threats have increased by more than
100 percent over the past year, said Cheryl Traverse, President and CEO of
Xceedium. With this technological partnership, joint customers can enjoy
the benefits of RSA SecurID strong authentication technology and the
comprehensive entitlement management technology of the Xceedium GateKeeper
to control its high-risk users.
