Compliance and RSA SecurID Solutions: Implementing Best Practices in Authentication

Overview Compliance with regulations, as well as a company's own requirements to keep its privileged information secure, relies heavily on end-user authentication - ensuring that only known and approved individuals can access protected networks, applications and databases. Unfortunately these regulations provide only vague guidance on technology requirements - stating that organizations must take steps that are "reasonable and appropriate." To help organizations with their compliance efforts, RSA Security, a leading provider of identity and access management solutions, has built an exclusive set of some 60 information security best practices that organizations can tailor to their own use.
