Broadcom Joins RSA SecurID Ready for Authenticators Program; RSA SecurID Technology to be Embedded within New Broadcom(R) BCM5890 Secure Processor BEDFORD, Mass., June 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- RSA Security (NASDAQ:RSAS) today announced that Broadcom Corporation (NASDAQ:BRCM), a global leader in semiconductors for wired and wireless communications, has joined the RSA SecurID Ready for Authenticators program -- an extension of the trusted RSA Secured(R) Partner Program. As part of this, Broadcom plans to license RSA SecurID technology for integration within the new Broadcom(R) BCM5890 secure processor. Launched today, Broadcom's BCM5890 is a secure silicon processor with integrated radio frequency identification (RFID) technology. By embedding RSA SecurID technology within the BCM5890 secure processor, Broadcom will enable its customers to leverage native support for one-time passcodes (OTPs). "Broadcom's customers are continually under pressure to deliver solutions to the enterprise that solve real IT problems," said Joseph Wallace, Senior Director for Broadcom's Security Line of Business. "By embedding RSA SecurID technology into the BCM5890, Broadcom would enable unique and substantially more effective solutions to businesses trying to protect identities and information." Launched in February 2006, the RSA SecurID Ready for Authenticators program supports RSA Security's effort to foster ubiquitous stronger authentication. The program enables partners, such as Broadcom, to transform their own solutions into platforms for stronger authentication by embedding the RSA SecurID algorithm. By doing so, RSA Security and its partners can offer enterprises greatly expanded options for delivering stronger authentication to employees, customers and partners. In addition, these partnerships can present cost-savings opportunities as enterprises can leverage a single device (e.g., hardware built around the BCM5890 secure processor) to support additional capabilities. "As businesses manage increasingly sophisticated security threats, there is a growing recognition of the need to strongly protect identities and information. However, these new threats have completely reshaped the IT security landscape -- customers understand that one-size-fits-all is not sufficient, and demand flexible, cost-effective technology options," said John Worrall, senior vice president of marketing at RSA Security. "In our partnership with Broadcom, we will work to address this market reality by offering an integrated solution, which will help enterprises balance convenience, security and costs when deploying stronger authentication."
