RSA Security

RSA Security is an identity-first security company, providing trusted identity and access management through encryption, authentication and identity federation technologies. Founded in 1982 by the MIT cryptographers Ron Rivest, Adi Shamir and Leonard Adleman, the firm has its origins in academic research: the RSA public-key cryptosystem devised by its founders became a foundational component of internet security. It operates worldwide.

The company's principal product is the Unified Identity Platform, an identity and access management platform covering multi-factor authentication, passwordless authentication, single sign-on, identity governance and identity lifecycle management. It can be deployed in the cloud or on-premises and manages 25 million enterprise identities. RSA Security serves some 12,000 organizations worldwide, with particular concentration in financial services, healthcare, energy and technology.

Engineering work spans cryptography and public-key cryptography, multi-factor and passwordless authentication, identity governance, identity lifecycle management, encryption and identity federation. The company describes its mission as connecting people with digital resources everywhere they live, work and play, and frames its customer base as security-first organizations.
