RSA Authentication Manager and SecurID RSA SecurID® two-factor authentication is based on something you know (a password or PIN) and something you have (an authenticator)—providing a much more reliable level of user authentication than reusable passwords. - The only solution that automatically changes your password every 60 seconds
- 15 years with no reported security breaches
RSA Security offers enterprises a wide range of user authentication options to help positively identify users before they interact with mission-critical data and applications through: - VPNs & WLANs
- E-mail
- Intranets & extranets
- Microsoft® Windows® desktops
- Web servers
- Other network resources
They are designed to fit seamlessly into the existing e-business infrastructures of our approximately 21,000 customers worldwide. With a 20-year history of outstanding performance and innovation, RSA Security’s authentication solutions remain an industry standard for organizations looking to protect their key business data assets. Authentication Manager RSA Authentication Manager software is the management component of the RSA SecurID solution, used to verify authentication requests and centrally administer user authentication policies for access to enterprise networks. Working in conjunction with RSA SecurID authenticators and RSA Authentication Agent software, the solution provides two-factor user authentication that protects access to more VPN's, wireless networks, web applications, business Windows operating system, applications and operating environments, including the Microsoft than any other system available today.
SecurID® Authenticators Hardware Tokens  

| RSA SecurID® hardware tokens provide "hacker-resistant" two-factor authentication, resulting in easy-to-use and effective user identification. Based on RSA Security’s patented time synchronization technology, this authentication device generates a simple, one-time authentication code that changes every 60 seconds. To access resources protected by the RSA SecurID system, users simply combine their secret Personal Identification Numbers (PIN’s) (something they alone know) with the token codes generated by their authenticators (something they have). The result is a unique, one-time-use passcode that is used to positively identify, or authenticate, the user. If the code is validated by the RSA SecurID system, the user is granted access to the protected resource. If it is not recognized, the user is denied access. No interaction with the user desktop is required—that is, you don't have to install or maintain any software. Equally important, you are not required to program tokens. They are ready to use out of the box. In addition, RSA SecurID hardware authenticators are manufactured and sealed with an integral lifetime battery. No user maintenance or battery replacement is required. As a result, this authentication solution is as easy to deploy and administer as it is to use. |
Software Tokens  | RSA SecurID software tokens support the same algorithms as the industry-leading RSA SecurID hardware authenticators, including the industry-standard AES algorithm. Instead of being stored in an RSA SecurID hardware authenticator, the symmetric key (or "seed record") is safeguarded securely on the user’s desktop, laptop, PDA, handheld, or mobile phone. RSA SecurID symmetric keys may also be stored on smart card and USB devices and used in conjunction with the RSA SecurID software token on the user’s desktop. |
