SecurID Appliance
Used in combination with RSA SecurID authenticators, the RSA SecurID Appliance is designed to validate the identities of users by requiring the user to present a PIN (something they know) along with their token code (something they have) before granting access to valuable network resources.
RSA SecurID® technology, the industry-leading two-factor user authentication solution, is now available in an integrated, rack-mountable, hardware appliance format. RSA SecurID technology is used by thousands of corporations and millions of users to protect access to IP/Sec and SSL VPNs, wireless networks, Microsoft Windows® and UNIX operating environments, web servers, business applications and more. Designed with varying organizational needs and preferences in mind, the RSA SecurID Appliance can meet the needs of smaller organizations for simple, cost effective deployments or can scale easily to support much larger environments with thousands of users.
Security
The RSA SecurID Appliance has been engineered to operate on a sole-purpose Microsoft Windows® 2003 operating system which is designed to limit vulnerable entry points by providing embedded firewall protection, disabled nonessential components & services, a hardened TCP stack and limited group / user sharing options.
Network Monitoring
Through its network monitoring capabilities using the Windows SNMP Agent plug-in, the RSA SecurID Appliance enables organizations to leverage their existing Network Management Systems to monitor the health of the Appliance and optimize up-time. This is accomplished by supporting standard SNMP queries from the Network Management System and Appliance-generated "SNMP traps" from specific events in the authentication log files.
Easy to Deploy and Maintain
The RSA SecurID Appliance is designed so that a customer can turn it on and be up and running in as little as 15 minutes. The primary setup is managed via a web-based graphical user interface where the administrator is guided through a series of instructions to initialize the date and time, set the administrator password, configure the appliance host name and IP address, install the license, import token records, assign the administrator token and test and enable authentication.
A web management Interface, designed to perform common administration functions, such as adding or deleting users, is also included. Common tasks that can be managed via the web interface tool include adding users and assigning tokens, installing and configuring agents, viewing the activity monitor, viewing system details and specifying the location of backup files.
The configuration setup and web management Interface help reduce startup and ongoing management costs and can significantly reduce the system's total cost of ownership.
