RSA Announces Promotion to Accelerate Innovation Roadmap

BEDFORD, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--RSA, the security-first identity leader, today announced that it had promoted Jim Taylor to President, Chief Product and Strategy Officer.

The new role signals RSA’s renewed commitment to an accelerated, innovation-led product strategy.

• Advanced enterprise passwordless: RSA already delivers the industry’s most complete passwordless solution. RSA will continue innovating in the passwordless space by adding additional security capabilities, broadening passwordless support across the enterprise and incorporating a seamless AI-enhanced user experience.
• Identity security posture management (ISPM): RSA helps organizations strengthen their identity posture with capabilities that streamline compliance, reduce risks, and automate identity lifecycle functions to ensure least privilege and stop threats before they start. New enhancements will bring additional ISPM features to the RSA^® Governance & Lifecycle platform.
• Highest-assurance identity solutions: RSA is the industry leader in helping government, financial services, healthcare, energy, and other critical infrastructure stay secure, resilient, and operational. RSA will expand and deepen its solutions to ensure essential services remain protected against evolving threats.
• Leveraging AI for cybersecurity: For more than 20 years, RSA^® Risk AI has leveraged machine learning to dynamically assess user risk and automate responses. RSA is adding new solutions that leverage that rich data set along with data from RSA identity and access management (IAM) and identity governance and administration (IGA) solutions, to create new solutions and better outcomes for our customers.

Across each of these areas, RSA will continue to put customers first by delivering high-value, high-assurance solutions.
