RSA Security Inc., a trusted name in e-security, announced the availability of RSA ClearTrust web access management software with RedHat Linux, RedHat Advanced Server and the SuSE Enterprise Server platforms. RSA Security's standards-based approach to Web access management helps organizations improve relationships, generate revenue and reduce costs by providing secure access to multiple web-based applications and services. With extended platform and server support, customers can deploy RSA ClearTrust Web access management across their enterprise with minimal impact to their existing IT infrastructure.

In a report released by IDC, the total number of servers shipped with the Linux operating system preinstalled hit almost 171,700 in the first quarter of 2003, up 29.5 percent from the 132,500 Linux servers sold in the first quarter of 2002. By providing RSA ClearTrust software support for Linux, RSA Security extends web access management software to a fast-growing platform used by enterprises for both low and high-end computing needs, ranging from web and file servers to J2EE applications servers and databases. RSA ClearTrust software is also available on Microsoft Windows, Sun Solaris(TM), HP-UX, and IBM AIX platforms.

RSA ClearTrust software, an integral part of a comprehensive identity and access management solution, is designed to be an easy-to-deploy, rules-based solution that centrally controls and manages user access privileges to web- based resources based on definable user attributes, business rules and security policies. RSA ClearTrust software is engineered to allow customers to manage online identities in order to provide seamless single-sign-on (SSO) to users accessing corporate portals, applications servers and other protected web resources.

"RSA Security is committed to helping our customers achieve the best solution for identity and access management, helping them to drive new business initiatives, reduce costs and, most importantly, retain optimal, dependable security -- for any platform," said Joe Uniejewski, senior vice president, Web Access Management division at RSA Security.
