The organizations have selected the RSA SecurID® for Microsoft Windows solution, a feature of RSA SecurID software, to replace vulnerable passwords and positively establish the trusted user identity before granting access to corporate resources inside the enterprise.

Customers include:
* Business Software Alliance - the foremost organization dedicated to promoting a safe and legal digital world

"It's important to have access controls within our environment both domestically and internationally," said Scott Van Hove, chief operating officer of the Business Software Alliance. "With RSA SecurID for Microsoft Windows technology, we can be sure of who is accessing the data online and offline throughout the entire enterprise, and we can produce a complete audit trail at the push of a button."
"Gartner predicts that by 2007, 80 percent of organizations will reach the 'password breaking point' and will need to strengthen user authentication with alternative security methods," said Ant Allan, research vice president at Gartner. "Businesses need to put roadmaps in place now that will allow them to phase out passwords and replace them with stronger authentication methods." 19.10.2005, RSA Security Inc.
