Arrow ECS Adds Information-Centric Solutions from RSA to Security Offerings
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (July 22, 2009) - Arrow Enterprise Computing Solutions, a business segment of Arrow Electronics Inc [NYSE: ARW], has signed an agreement with RSA, The Security Division of EMC (NYSE:EMC), to distribute its RSA SecurID®, RSA enVision® and RSA® data loss prevention solutions in North America.
"Arrow ECS is proud to offer RSA's innovative solutions in the North American market," said Sean Kerins, vice president of the Storage Group at Arrow ECS. "The security market is a key area of focus for Arrow ECS, and we believe having RSA - a clear market leader - in our portfolio will bring even more opportunities for our resellers to support their customers in this segment."
RSA SecurID technology is the market-leading two-factor authentication system used by more than 40 million people across more than 30,000 organizations worldwide. It is designed to help prevent unauthorized access to corporate applications and resources. It is comprised of a broad range of hardware and software authenticators that provide end users with a one-time password designed to change every 60 seconds and provide a much stronger form of authentication than only a username and static password.
The RSA enVision platform simplifies compliance reporting and enables organizations to respond more quickly in high-risk security situations through the collection, alerting and analysis of log data.
One of the most robust and complete DLP solutions available on the market, the RSA Data Loss Prevention Suite is designed to discover and secure sensitive information in the data center, on the network and at endpoints.
"As a long-time distributor for EMC, Arrow ECS was a natural fit to distribute the RSA solutions," said Joe Gabriel, director of worldwide channel marketing at RSA. "We look forward to working with Arrow ECS to make our information-centric security solutions available to even more resellers and their customers in the North American market."
