EMC has just announced the release of new Android security feature in the market. The RSA SecurID Software Token for Android will enable Android devices to utilize the RSA SecurID authenticator and will provide a convenient and cost-efficient mechanism for authentication and resources. EMC is using this to further its position as a world leader in innovative ways to store, protect, optimize and leverage data, delving deep into the mobile security business.

Tim Prendergast, Network Architect at Ingenuity Systems, related the vitality of the newly introduced security feature of EMC made available for Android. He said, “Being able to offer the RSA SecurID tokens to our users on many of the most popular mobile platforms such as Android is a convenient and cost-effective way to deploy strong authentication in our enterprise.

“Deployment on smart phone platforms is done electronically so it’s simple and fast for our IT organization to provision, eliminating any lag time if an end-user needs to get a new token. Our employees love it because the tokens are easily accessed on the mobile devices they already own and carry.”
