PJNetworks : RSA BSAFE : Enterprise Applications : Data Security Manager

New regulatory pressures and demands from customers and partners to better protect sensitive information are elevating the importance of architecting for security in addition to functionality. RSA BSAFE® Data Security Manager is built on proven RSA BSAFE® technology and tackles these problems by providing a solution that balances the needs of security professionals to maintain control over security rules while also meeting the needs of corporate developers with requirements to implement strong data security in their applications. It enables application developers, even if they have no prior security knowledge, to implement strong data security in enterprise applications.

Improperly secured applications greatly increase the risk of exposure or breach and many companies cannot afford both the loss to their business and their reputation resulting from such a breach. Security needs are becoming just as important as functional needs in order to successfully mitigate business risk. How do you avoid data security vulnerabilities without greatly increasing your cost for developing and deploying new business applications?

RSA BSAFE® Data Security Manager enables companies to get a good assessment of the sensitivity of their data sources and then assign classifications to that data. Classifications should only change when data types or needs change, not with every new application. These classifications then become the basis for developing a policy file that will map these classifications to the appropriate security mechanisms required to secure that data.

RSA BSAFE® Data Security Manager also hides the complexity of security from developers allowing them to stay focused on developing business logic. Implementing good data security is now accessible to any corporate developer, regardless of skill set. RSA BSAFE® Data Security Manager integrates seamlessly with existing application development environments by supporting multiple languages and operating platforms enabling corporate developers to get up to speed more quickly.

RSA BSAFE® Data Security Manager places security decisions in the hands of security experts – those charged with developing and enforcing these security policies. Security rules can now be made and enforced by policy, not by code. This allows developers to stay focused on developing good business applications while giving the business comfort that sensitive information will be secured properly.
