RSA Unveils Advanced Passwordless Security Solutions to Thwart AI-Powered Attacks and Protect Enterprises

RSA Unveils New Innovations to Combat AI-Powered Identity Attacks and Protect Passwordless Environments SYDNEY--(BUSINESS WIRE)--RSA, a leader in security-first identity solutions, has introduced groundbreaking cybersecurity advancements at the RSAC Conference 2025. These innovations are designed to protect organizations from emerging AI-powered threats, such as IT Help Desk bypasses, malware, and social engineering attacks. The updates are particularly significant for companies transitioning to passwordless strategies, reinforcing RSA's status as the sole provider of truly enterprise-ready passwordless identity solutions. "Only RSA can deliver a comprehensive passwordless solution that caters to every user, use case, and environment," stated Jim Taylor, Chief Product and Technology Officer at RSA. "Our approach ensures that businesses can fully leverage the benefits of passwordless while mitigating potential risks." One of the key features introduced is RSA® Help Desk Live Verify, a patent-pending bi-directional identity verification tool. This feature prevents social engineering and technical support scams by confirming the identities of both users and IT staff, thwarting attackers who might try to impersonate either party. "Passwordless approaches promise numerous advantages, such as enhanced user experience and cost savings, but they also introduce new security challenges," explained Rohit Ghai, CEO of RSA. "Our platform is the only enterprise-grade solution that integrates security and resilience, making it suitable for high-security sectors like government agencies and financial services." RSA's Platform: A Holistic Approach to Passwordless Security Unlike other vendors that offer piecemeal or surface-level solutions, RSA takes a comprehensive platform approach to passwordless security. Their solution addresses the full user lifecycle, supporting all types of environments—from cloud to on-premises. This holistic strategy ensures that every user is protected, regardless of where they are operating. "High-security organizations in Germany trust RSA with the hybrid authentication and access capabilities needed to meet stringent regulatory requirements like NIS2 and DORA," added Alaa Abdulnabi, RSA SVP and General Manager, International. Enterprise readiness for passwordless solutions is crucial. To be effective, a passwordless system must work seamlessly across all platforms, environments, and user types, defending against all kinds of threats. RSA stands out by providing passwordless support for cloud, on-premises, hybrid, and legacy systems, ensuring broad coverage and adaptability. RSA's passwordless access remains functional even during internet outages, thanks to its offline and secure fallback capabilities. The company augments its support for a wide range of passwordless protocols and form factors with advanced security measures like RSA® Mobile Lock, RSA® Risk AI, and the newly introduced RSA Help Desk Live Verify. Ongoing Commitment to Passwordless Innovation Beyond the introduction of RSA Help Desk Live Verify, the company is pushing further into deep security enhancements for its passwordless offerings. These improvements are integrated into RSA® ID Plus, which is recognized as the most secure hybrid identity security platform in the industry. RSA's suite of tools includes: - RSA Mobile Lock: Protects against malware and brute-force attacks. - RSA Risk AI: Detects and mitigates phishing and AiTM (Adversary-in-the-Middle) threats. - RSA Help Desk Live Verify: Prevents social engineering and technical support scams through bi-directional identity verification. "Organizations need a robust, versatile solution to handle the complexity of modern identity security," emphasized Taylor. "RSA is committed to delivering these capabilities, ensuring businesses are prepared for a range of threats, from cyberattacks to deepfakes."
