RSA Announces Expanded Partnership with Microsoft, Enhances Leadership in Passwordless Identity Security

 


SAN FRANCISCO - 

Innovative partnership ushers in new era of secure, AI-powered workforce authentication


(BUSINESS WIRE) -- RSA today announced expanded support for the new Microsoft 365 E7: The Frontier Suite solution at RSAC Conference 2026. This new support joins additional passwordless capabilities that provide organizations with enhanced security, seamless experience, and resilient operations as they embrace the future of AI-driven productivity.


By integrating RSA® ID Plus for Microsoft with Microsoft 365 E7, enterprises can ensure trusted authentication for both human users and AI agents, while safeguarding sensitive data and privileged operations across hybrid, cloud, and on-premises environments. This deployment follows RSA joining the Microsoft Intelligent Security Association (MISA), launching RSA Advisor for Admin Threats in Microsoft Security Copilot, and deploying RSA ID Plus Admin Logs Connector, further strengthening the ongoing collaboration between RSA and Microsoft.


“The rise of AI agents in the enterprise means organizations need to rethink how they secure every identity—human and machine alike,” said RSA CEO Greg Nelson. “Expanded RSA passwordless capabilities and advanced MFA resilience features, now available in Microsoft E7, allow organizations to eliminate passwords, stop advanced identity threats, and streamline secure access at scale.”


“The partnership between RSA and Microsoft is pivotal for customers facing increasingly complex security demands,” said RSA Chief Marketing and Growth Officer Laura Marx. “By working together through the Microsoft Intelligent Security Association and advancing integrated solutions for Microsoft Entra ID, we empower high-security, highly complex, and highly regulated organizations with the most resilient and innovative security measures available.”


“The Microsoft Intelligent Security Association represents a dynamic and trusted community of leading security innovators worldwide,” said Maria Thomson, Director, Microsoft Intelligent Security Association. “Our partners, including RSA Security, are united by a shared commitment to advancing cybersecurity collaboration, empowering customers to anticipate, identify, and address emerging threats with greater speed, efficacy, and confidence.”


Organizations can also deploy RSA authentication in Entra configurations via the new Microsoft Entra External MFA integration, which allows organizations to deploy the full range of RSA authentication capabilities along with additional RSA security enhancements.


RSA expands passwordless leadership at RSAC Conference 2026


RSA delivers the industry’s most comprehensive passwordless solution—including FIDO2, QR code, OTP, biometrics, hardware capabilities, and more. At RSAC, RSA announced additional passwordless enhancements that can be deployed independently or alongside the Microsoft Entra ID suite, ensuring that organizations can deploy passwordless for every user, in every environment, every time.


These new enhancements include the next version of desktop passwordless for macOS and Windows (featuring new online, offline, and hybrid high availability options), enhanced mobile passkeys with proximity verification, and datacenter passwordless, including support for Linux and OS servers. In a new case study, the FIDO Alliance detailed how RSA had used its own solutions to implement nearly universal passwordless for its global workforce.


“At RSA, passwordless isn’t just a feature—it’s a discipline that has to hold when everything else breaks,” said Jim Taylor, President, Chief Product & Strategy Officer, RSA. “While the industry talks about passwordless for the demo, RSA delivers passwordless for the outage, the edge case, and the scenarios that no one else wants to think about. With our newly announced enhancements—ranging from desktop passwordless V2 for both macOS and Windows, to high-availability options that work online, offline, and in hybrid environments, to advanced mobile passkeys and datacenter support—RSA passwordless ensures that organizations never compromise.”


RSAC Conference attendees are welcome to join RSA at Booth N 6253 to demo these passwordless enhancements.

SLB Industrializes AI for the Energy Industry with NVIDIA

 Companies will develop modular data center infrastructure and generative AI models for large-scale deployments


(BUSINESS WIRE) -- Global energy technology company SLB (NYSE: SLB) today announced an expansion of its technology collaboration with NVIDIA to design and deploy critical AI infrastructure and models for the energy industry.


The work focuses on three strategic elements:


Modular design for data centers: SLB will serve as the modular design partner for NVIDIA DSX AI factories. This modular approach, where components are manufactured offsite, will drive increased quality and reliability while also reducing costs, labor constraints and lead times. It also enables rapid and flexible scaling, which allows customers to expand data center capacity quickly as demand grows.


AI Factory for Energy: SLB will work with NVIDIA to develop an “AI Factory for Energy,” a reference environment powered by domain-specific generative AI models and industrial-scale agentic AI. This will run on SLB’s digital platforms to help energy companies scale AI for their data and operations.


Accelerated computing for SLB digital platforms: The companies will optimize the processing of large datasets and AI models across SLB digital platforms using the latest NVIDIA AI infrastructure, aiming to establish new benchmarks for performance and efficiency in energy applications.


“The winners in AI will be companies with the best data, the deepest domain expertise and the ability to scale,” said Demos Pafitis, SLB’s chief technology officer. “By collaborating with NVIDIA to advance modular data‑center construction and harness our domain expertise and digital platforms, we’re enabling the energy industry to deploy AI at scale and transform operational data into smarter decisions.”


"AI is becoming the engine of a new industrial revolution, and the energy industry is at its forefront," said Vladimir Troy, vice president of AI Infrastructure at NVIDIA. "Building AI Factory infrastructure and domain models is needed to turn massive amounts of energy data into actionable insights and accelerate more efficient and sustainable energy systems."


Energy companies generate vast amounts of operational data across subsurface, production and energy infrastructure, which makes decision-making somewhat slow and siloed. By combining NVIDIA Omniverse libraries and NVIDIA Nemotron open models with SLB digital and AI platforms, the collaboration aims to accelerate the transformation of that data into actionable insights. The work spans traditional machine learning, generative AI and emerging agentic AI technologies designed to improve performance and support reliable, efficient and lower-carbon energy systems.


Today’s announcement builds on a relationship that began in 2008, when NVIDIA accelerated computing was first used to enhance SLB subsurface visualization and seismic imaging software. In 2024, the companies announced plans to develop generative artificial intelligence solutions for the energy sector using NVIDIA software integrated with SLB’s Delfi™ digital platform and Lumi™ data and AI platform.


Key points


SLB and NVIDIA are expanding their long-standing technology collaboration to design and deploy critical AI infrastructure and models for the energy industry.


SLB will serve as the design partner for modular DSX AI data centers, using modular and scalable off-site construction and deployment to shorten lead times.


SLB and NVIDIA will develop an “AI Factory for Energy,” a reference environment powered by domain-specific generative AI models and industrial-scale agentic AI running within SLB’s digital platforms to help energy companies scale AI for their data and operations.


The collaboration will optimize the processing of large datasets and AI models across SLB digital platforms using the latest NVIDIA technologies.


The expanded work builds on a relationship that began in 2008 and reflects the industry’s shift from AI experimentation to enterprise-scale deployment.

Agileo Automation Launches Agil'EDA to Accelerate SEMI EDA Adoption for Semiconductor Equipment OEMs

 POITIERS, France - Wednesday, 25. March 2026


High-performance connectivity software delivers structured, high-volume equipment data required by tier-one fabs and advanced packaging facilities ahead of expected mid-2026 SEMI standards update


(BUSINESS WIRE) -- Agileo Automation, a leading global provider of control and connectivity solutions for semiconductor manufacturing, today unveils Agil'EDA, a new software implementing Equipment Data Acquisition (EDA/Interface A). This solution enables semiconductor equipment manufacturers to meet the evolving high-performance connectivity requirements of tier-one fabs and advanced packaging facilities.


As semiconductor manufacturing moves towards higher levels of automation and data-driven optimization, fab owners increasingly require EDA alongside traditional SECS/GEM connectivity from OEMs for their production tools. Agil'EDA separates equipment control from data acquisition, ensuring that structured, high-frequency data collection does not interfere with critical equipment operations.


Designed for long-term deployment, Agil'EDA fully supports the widely used EDA Freeze 2 (SOAP/XML) and is architected for the transition to Freeze 3 (gRPC/protocol buffers). This next EDA freeze, expected in mid-2026, offers significantly higher data throughput and lower latency. Agileo successfully tested its Freeze 3 implementation at SEMI Standards Meetings in November 2024.


Incorporating robust cybersecurity features such as encrypted communications and authentication, Agil'EDA is available as a stand-alone solution for existing equipment software or as a pre-integrated component within Agileo’s A²ECF-SEMI framework. Combined with Agil'GEM and Agil'GEM300, it provides a comprehensive connectivity solution that significantly reduces time to market for OEMs.


"The key value for OEMs is a fast adoption path to a future-ready EDA architecture," explains Marc Engel, chief executive officer of Agileo Automation. "By integrating Freeze 3 requirements in Agil'EDA architecture from the start, we address OEMs’ current needs while preparing them for future semiconductor manufacturing requirements."

NetApp and Elastio Announce Partnership to Deliver Defense-in-Depth Ransomware Resilience


 SAN JOSE, Calif. & SAN FRANCISCO -Robust cyber resilience requires both perimeter defenses and built-in security at the storage layer


(BUSINESS WIRE)--NetApp® (NASDAQ: NTAP), the Intelligent Data Infrastructure company, and Elastio are helping enterprises enhance their cyber resilience with a layered defense that extends from production storage into recovery data. Security teams must be ready to address threats at every layer of their technology stack, including ransomware that moved quietly through production before it was caught that now lives inside snapshots and backups. Advanced ransomware is engineered to evade prevention tools, moving quietly through production, staying below detection thresholds, reaching backup data before any alert is triggered.


"As we migrated our infrastructure, ensuring we had the right level of backup security and assurance was non-negotiable,” Marc Crudgington, VP IT Infrastructure and CISO, Crane WW Logistics. “Elastio provided continuous inspection of our backups from day one - giving us confidence in our ability to recover. That’s the standard we hold ourselves to."


The companies are embedding Elastio’s Provable Recovery Control into the NetApp Ransomware Resilience Service as “Powered by Elastio,” adding Deep File Inspection of snapshots. Together, the service delivers end-to-end resilience from ransomware detection through recovery – using recovery points that are continuously verified as clean.


"Storage needs to be part of the conversation when defining a holistic cyber security strategy,” Gagan Gulati, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Data Services. NetApp. “By protecting data where it lives, we make storage a priority to combat cyber threats like ransomware. But the stakes for business resilience and operational continuity are too high to rely on a single layer of defense. By collaborating with Elastio, we’re giving enterprises another tool to protect their most critical asset: data.”


A New Layer of Defense Inside the NetApp Ransomware Resilience Service


NetApp Ransomware Resilience Service: Detects and contains ransomware at the data layer in real time, takes immutable snapshots, guides recovery, and continuously assesses ransomware posture across ONTAP® environments. Includes behavioral detection via Autonomous Ransomware Protection (ARP).

Elastio Provable Recovery Control: Deep File Inspection of ONTAP snapshots, detecting zero-day ransomware, staged malware, and stealth corruption that evaded perimeter controls. No agents and continuously identify the last known clean recovery points.

Through this collaboration, both companies are enhancing cyber resilience for customers by embedding Elastio Provable Recovery Control directly into the NetApp Ransomware Resilience Service with no separate procurement and no architecture changes.


"Most organizations discover their recovery data is compromised at the worst possible moment: during an active incident,” Naj Husain, CEO, Elastio. “By then the question of whether backups are clean is no longer theoretical. The joint solution answers that question continuously, before the incident forces it."


Availability


The NetApp Ransomware Resilience Service powered by Elastio is planned for availability in the near future. Enterprise organizations interested in early access should contact their NetApp or Elastio representative to assess their current recovery posture.
