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. However, traditionally the tools available to enterprise application developers to add appropriate data security functionality to their applications have been difficult to use and require extensive security knowledge and expertise. RSA® Data Security Manager is designed to be an easy-to-use, policy-driven solution for protecting sensitive data in applications – even if developers have no prior security expertise. It provides easy to use programming interfaces for all popular development tools and languages. RSA® Data Security Manager is built on proven RSA BSAFE® encryption technology providing a robust solution to tackle any application data protection problem.

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 Data Security Manager 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 Data Security Manager integrates seamlessly with existing application development environments by supporting multiple languages (including Java and Microsoft .NET) and operating platforms enabling corporate developers to get up to speed more quickly.

RSA Data Security Manager's policy component helps companies define the sensitivity of their data sources and then assign security rules 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 Data Security Manager's policy that will map these classifications to the appropriate security mechanisms required to secure that data. Through its policy mechanism, Data Security Manager places the hard 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.
