Regulatory Compliance
Check Point and RSA
The many regulations that mandate the protection of information have a common thread: they all require that organizations implement controls to allow only authorized users to gain access to information, control what users do, monitor and track their activities, and make them accountable for their actions. Regulations largely outline the required services that can be provided as identity management—ensuring the user is who they claim to be—and access management—determining which applications, information or resources a user can access.
RSA Authentication Manager integrates with authentication mechanisms built in to the Check Point product family — helping organizations find an effective way to address some of the central requirements for compliance with today's regulations. Integration with VPN-1 Pro supports direct communication with the RSA Authentication Manager for authenticating users via user, session or client authentication. SecurID-based authentication also interoperates with RADIUS or TACACS+ communication, ensuring that valuable network resources are accessible only by authorized users. Centralized logging and reporting capabilities also help organizations meet government regulations by providing an audit trail to demonstrate due diligence in implementing these controls.
