Since July of 2003, EMC has spent approx US$7 billion on 25 acquisitions, including Documentum and Legato. RSA Security has 20,000 customers and many of its customers overlap with EMC customers. EMC's information-centric security strategy is designed to help customers assess the security of their information, secure their information infrastructure, directly protect their sensitive information and manage security information and events to assure effectiveness and ease the burden of compliance. RSA's e-Security portfolio consists of solutions that include identity and access management, secure mobile and remote access, secure enterprise access, secure transactions, and consumer identity protection. With the acquisition of RSA, EMC hopes to make security unobstrusive and transparent, enabling joint customers to secure the information lifecycle by better managing their information, managing identity and access and selectively encrypting their data. {moscomment} |
