The use of smart card-based credentials within enterprises and government agencies is on the rise.

Organizations are striving to better protect corporate information assets, address regulatory compliance pressures, and work to achieve cost savings and increased security through the convergence of physical and logical access credentials.

RSA offers a complete solution for organizations that want to improve user authentication with smart cards or USB tokens. With RSA’s smart cards and USB tokens, end-users can easily and securely:

  • Log onto their PCs and corporate networks
  • Log into Windows® and web-based applications
  • Digitally sign email and documents
  • Screen-lock their PCs
  • Access physical facilities with smart cards

Companies today face a growing security challenge that continues to place increased pressure on operations. Resources as diverse as physical facilities, desktops, networks, and applications need to be protected in a way consistent with existing business practices.

RSA® Smart Cards help address this challenge by providing an all-in-one device for secure enterprise access. Employees use a single card to get into their building, log on to their PCs, and access applications with RSA® Authentication Client. And when users lock their card or even lose it, they can take emergency access measures through RSA® Card Manager’s web interface.

Slash management and support costs

RSA Smart Cards help lower the cost of deploying, administering, and supporting multi-factor authentication by consolidating multiple types of access applications into one end-user device. These savings are augmented when managing those devices with RSA® Card Manager, enabling self-service emergency access in the event that a user’s card is lost or their PIN forgotten.

In addition, RSA Smart Cards and associated client software can be managed centrally over the web, allowing administrators to automate many end-user tasks such as applet deployment, backup/recovery of credentials, and security policy management. Unlike traditional smart card products, RSA Smart Cards and RSA Card Manager have been built to handle the needs of the large-scale organization.

Smart Card Readers

RSA offers PC/SC standards-based smart card readers for serial, USB and PCMCIA ports. These readers allow organizations to get a smart card solution from a single vendor that has completely tested the combination of reader, smart card and software to ensure compatibility.
