RSA Security Outperforms The Competition

RSA Security Inc, a trusted name in e-security, recently announced that RSA ClearTrust software, an award-winning web access management solution, significantly outperformed competitive web access management products in a recent independent benchmarking study by Mindcraft, a leading software testing lab and developer of the AuthMark Benchmark. Based on comparisons with other Mindcraft benchmarking studies, RSA ClearTrust software performed 99 percent faster than Netegrity SiteMinder software and 110 percent faster than Oblix NetPoint software(1). These results provide independent proof points to the superior performance and scalability of RSA ClearTrust software, helping to ensure that an organization's identity infrastructure will keep pace with their growing e- business activity.

"RSA ClearTrust 5.0.1 software delivered the highest Login and Extranet performance per Authorization/Policy Server CPU that we've measured," said Bruce Weiner, president of Mindcraft. "RSA ClearTrust software sets a new Extranet performance standard for policy server-based identity and access management products. It achieved 60,144 Logins per minute and 221,980 Extranet operations per minute, per Authorization Server CPU."

As organizations continue to move vital business processes to the web, performance and scalability have become mandatory enablers of their e-business infrastructures. Mindcraft develops state-of-the-art testing to provide the industry with independent benchmarking of such criteria. Mindcraft's AuthMark Benchmark, which tests authentication and authorization performance for Web access management products, is relied upon by organizations to select from competing solutions.

"Customers need to know that their identity and access management infrastructure will perform and scale in line with their e-business requirements - today and in the future," said Joe Uniejewski, senior vice president, Web Access Management division at RSA Security. "This independent, third-party review demonstrates that RSA ClearTrust software outperforms the competition in performance and scalability. That means our customers can rest assured that an investment in this solution is an investment in the success of their e-business."
