CORRECTING and REPLACING RSA Announces New Innovations to Stop Help Desk Scams and Protect Passwordless Environments

SYDNEY--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sixth paragraph quote should read: 'RSA provides high-security organizations across Australia with the market's only hybrid authentication and access capabilities they need to operate securely, build resilience, and meet NIS2 and DORA requirements,' said Alaa Abdulnabi, RSA SVP and General Manager, International. 'Only RSA can provide a complete passwordless solution that accounts for every user, use case, and environment,' said Jim Taylor, Chief Product and Technology Officer at RSA. The updated release reads: RSA, the security-first identity leader, announced groundbreaking cybersecurity innovations at RSAC Conference 2025 that defend organisations against the next wave of AI powered identity attacks, including IT Help Desk bypasses, malware, social engineering, and other threats. These advancements are especially critical for organisations implementing passwordless strategies and further solidify RSA's position as the only provider of true, enterprise-ready passwordless identity solutions. Among the highlights is the new RSA ® Help Desk Live Verify (patent pending), a first-of-its-kind feature that prevents social engineering and technical support scams. With bi-directional identity verification, RSA Help Desk Live Verify ensures that both users and IT staff are who they say they are, protecting against attackers impersonating users or help desk agents. 'Passwordless approaches offer tantalizing business benefits like improved user experience and cost savings, but as with any new technology passwordless also introduce new risks into the environment. RSA's platform offers the only enterprise worthy passwordless solution that has security and resilience designed in to address those risks,' said RSA CEO Rohit Ghai. 'Off-the-rack passwordless isn't good enough for government agencies, financial services, and other security-first leaders.' A New Enterprise Ready Passwordless Platform RSA is approaching passwordless as a broader platform capability and not simply a convenient new form of authentication. While many vendors offer surface-level point products, RSA delivers comprehensive protection, unmatched resilience, and complete governance—addressing the full lifecycle and all users, from cloud to on-premises. 'Only RSA can provide a complete passwordless solution that accounts for every user, use case, and environment,' said Jim Taylor, Chief Product and Technology Officer at RSA. 'Organisations need comprehensive, enterprise-grade capabilities that are ready for social engineering, fraud, outages, and deepfakes—and RSA is delivering exactly that.' 'RSA provides high-security organizations across Australia with the market's only hybrid authentication and access capabilities they need to operate securely, build resilience, and meet NIS2 and DORA requirements,' said Alaa Abdulnabi, RSA SVP and General Manager, International. For a passwordless solution to work for enterprises, it must work for every user, in every environment, against every threat, and in every situation. Unlike cloud-first or hardware-only providers, RSA offers passwordless capability across cloud, on-premises, hybrid, and legacy systems—ensuring every user and use case is covered. RSA also ensures that passwordless access remains available even during internet outages with offline and secure fallback capabilities. RSA complements the widest breadth of supported passwordless protocols and form factors with the greatest security depth against threats like malware, brute force, phishing, and AiTM attacks with RSA ® Mobile Lock, RSA ® Risk AI, and now, RSA Help Desk Live Verify. RSA Continues Passwordless Innovations In addition to RSA Help Desk Live Verify, RSA is introducing deep security innovations to strengthen its passwordless offerings: New RSA Mobile Lock enhancements protect against app tampering, spyware, sideloading, jailbreaking, and AiTM attacks, helping secure passkeys and all authentication methods on both BYOD and managed devices. Windows Desktop Logon enables new passwordless methods, like QR code scanning and mobile FIDO logon for Windows desktops. Secure onboarding with ID Verification uses government ID, liveness detection, and Mobile Match to prevent deepfake-based fraud and ensure the person enrolling owns the phone being used. These solutions are built into RSA ® ID Plus, the industry's most secure hybrid identity security platform. About RSA RSA provides mission-critical cybersecurity solutions that protect the world's most security-sensitive organisations. The RSA Unified Identity Platform provides true passwordless identity security, risk-based access, automated identity intelligence, and comprehensive identity governance across cloud, hybrid, and on-premises environments.

New Research from LevelBlue Indicates How AI is Challenging Organizations to Rethink Cyber Resilience

Article content Unveiled at the RSAC™ Conference, the 2025 LevelBlue Futures Report finds only 29% of executives are prepared for AI-powered threats, despite nearly half believing they will happen Article content SAN FRANCISCO — RSAC Conference 2025 – LevelBlue, a leading provider of managed security services, strategic consulting, and threat intelligence, today announced the launch of its 2025 Futures Report: Cyber Resilience and Business Impac t at the RSAC™ Conference. Following the release of the inaugural LevelBlue Futures Report in 2024, this year's report dives into the characteristics of cyber resilient organizations, evolving attack vectors, and how leaders are aligning business goals and cybersecurity. Article content Article content As artificial intelligence (AI) brings about excitement and transformative potential, the report reveals that organizations are forging ahead with innovations despite increased security concerns. In fact, just 29% of executives surveyed say they are reluctant to implement AI tools and technologies because of cybersecurity ramifications. Article content Organizations expect AI-powered attacks, such as deepfakes and synthetic identity attacks, to rise in 2025, but many remain unprepared. The LevelBlue Futures Report found that only 29% of executives say they are prepared for AI-powered threats, despite nearly half (42%) believing they will happen. Additionally, just about one-third (32%) believe their organization is prepared for deepfake attacks, even though 44% are expecting them. As AI-powered technologies make attacks more sophisticated, 59% of executives say that it is becoming more difficult for employees to identify real threats. Article content 'In 2025, AI is forcing organizations to pivot once again,' said Theresa Lanowitz, Chief Evangelist of LevelBlue. 'Our research shows that leaders are becoming more aware of the threats they face, and elevating cyber resilience measures accordingly. However, they still underestimate the potential risk of AI-powered cyberattacks and have extensive work ahead to properly prepare and protect themselves.' Article content Fortunately, enterprise alignment and awareness of cyber resilience have been a core focus over the past 12 months, with 45% of executives saying that cyber resilience is recognized as a whole company priority rather than simply a cybersecurity issue—an increase from 27% last year. Two-thirds (66%) of executives say their cybersecurity team is aligned with lines of business, while nearly half (43%) of executives within cyber resilient organizations report they are increasing boardroom engagement in resilience-related discussions, compared with 37% of executives overall. In turn, 79% of cyber-resilient organizations say their adaptive approach to cybersecurity enables their company to take greater risks with innovation. Article content Additional key findings include: Article content Article content The LevelBlue Futures Report recommends four specific steps to best achieve cyber resilience: Push cyber resilience up the organization, embed cybersecurity responsibilities throughout the organization, be proactive (not reactive), and prioritize resilience in the software supply chain. Article content Download the complete findings of the 2025 LevelBlue Futures Report here to learn how businesses can prepare for more sophisticated and human-centric attacks and achieve greater cyber resilience in the future. Article content For more information on LevelBlue and its managed security, consulting, and threat intelligence services, please visit Article content The research is based on a quantitative survey that was carried out by FT Longitude in January 2025.
