Adobe and RSA Security Release Results of New Survey on
Security and Privacy Policy
Survey of 400 Washington, D.C. Opinion Leaders Finds Need for
Increased Protection of Consumer Data and Privacy of Individual
Information
SAN JOSE, Calif. and BEDFORD, Mass. June 8, 2005 Adobe Systems
Incorporated (NASDAQ: ADBE) and RSA Security Inc. (NASDAQ: RSAS)
today announced the results of a survey of 400 Washington-based
opinion leaders at a privacy and security policy event in
Washington, D.C. The survey of senior-level professionals in
government, policy, consulting,
media and technology in the D.C. area found a majority perceive
a need for greater protection of consumer data and the privacy
of individual information.
Against the backdrop of judicial nominations, stem cell research
and Social Security reform, a significant percentage of Washington
opinion leaders think protecting consumer data is a "top tier"
issue. Forty-four percent view the issue of consumer data theft as
a top priority, while a third (34 percent) believe that creating
more secure forms of data is a top-tier issue.
Laptop Battery "The results of this survey demonstrate that the privacy of
consumer data continues to be an important issue, and that the
technology industry needs to fill the gap between technologies for
sharing and technologies for safeguarding information," said Bruce
Chizen, chief executive officer of Adobe. "Adobe is committed to
supporting document-level security. We view this as a necessary
ingredient in addressing the gap and protecting the privacy,
confidentiality and authenticity of information."
Yoggie Management Server offers centralized management and enforcement of the security policies. Policy setting can be as easy as setting High, Medium and Low protection settings or by setting the policy for each of the security packages, including Firewall, IDS, VPN, virus, spam, filtering policies. The security policies are effectively enforced thanks to the Yoggie Driver, which does not allow the connection of the laptop to the Internet without the Yoggie personal security server either Pico or Gatekeeper.
Thinkpad "Many businesses and industries are taking their
responsibilities seriously and acting to protect the private
information with which they have been entrusted. However, some
organizations in both the private and public sectors are failing to
prioritize the security of sensitive information online," comments
Art Coviello, president and CEO of RSA Security Inc. "As individual
policymakers look at this issue, I would urge them to create
appropriate `safe harbors' - in which those who have met current
regulatory requirements or industry best practices such as
encrypting sensitive information are not penalized, but those who
are lagging in reasonable security processes are compelled to meet
their responsibilities."
