Utimaco Expands Strategic Partnership with RSA, The Security Division of EMC, to Provide Enhanced Hardware Security Solutions
Utimaco - The Data Security Company, today announced that it has extended its participation in the RSA Secured(R) Partner Program by certifying interoperability between Utimaco's hardware security module (HSM) SafeGuard CryptoServer and RSA(R) Digital Certificate Manager solution from RSA, The Security Division of EMC (NYSE:EMC). As part of the RSA Secured Partner Program, SafeGuard CryptoServer has been awarded RSA Secured certification with RSA Digital Certificate Manager, signaling its interoperability with digital certificate management software from RSA. This RSA Secured certification signifies that the two interoperable products help joint customers to further establish trust and confidence in their identity management posture. Utimaco has previously certified its SafeGuard Easy product for hard disk encryption with the RSA SecurID(R) SID800 hardware authenticator through the RSA Secured partner program.
"The technology partnership between Utimaco and RSA helps to reap the rewards of e-business, balancing user enablement with the security necessary to protect electronic business processes," stated Andreas Philipp, head of HSM Business at Utimaco. "The interoperability of RSA Digital Certificate Manager software and SafeGuard CryptoServer HSM provides our joint customers with highly flexible identity management security including key generation, key storage as well as CA and certificate signing."
Utimaco's SafeGuard CryptoServer is engineered to be a tamperproof hardware security module. It is responsible for securely generating, storing and applying cryptographic keys and certificates during encryption and digital signature processes. Utimaco's SafeGuard CryptoServer product family, which has FIPS certification and is highly secure, provides powerful, highly flexible hardware security modules, and is now interoperable with RSA Digital Certificate Manager software.
"An effective strategy to protect identities and secure information access enables businesses to build the confidence that corporate data is being accessed securely by customers, partners and employees," said Stuart Cohen, director of partner development at RSA, The Security Division of EMC. "The strategic partnership between Utimaco and RSA helps enterprises accelerate their business objectives because, with the proper security controls in place, we can help them focus on current business processes efficiently and cost-effectively."
