FOXBORO, Mass. -- Utimaco, one of the world’s leading providers of data security solutions, today announced that RSA, The Security Division of EMC, has certified through the RSA Secured Partner Program that Utimaco’s SafeGuard Easy solution for hard disk encryption and the RSA SecurID® SID800 hardware authenticator are both technically compatible. Companies can now leverage the joint solution to provide an additional layer

of information-centric security in order to further protect sensitive data saved on PCs and notebooks.

Achieving technical interoperability with these products from Utimaco and RSA helps to maximize data protection by applying the principle of "something you have, and something you know". In this manner, only someone with a PIN that unlocks the key stored on the RSA SecurID SID800 hardware authenticator can access the computer and the data protected by SafeGuard Solutions.
