Visit https://status.securid.com/ to see the February 2022 release dates for the Cloud Authentication Service in your region.

SecurID Authenticator 5.0 for macOS is Coming!

SecurID Authenticator 5.0 for macOS is a new app that will support both SecurID Software Token and cloud-based multifactor authentication to manage all your authentication needs. Be it on-prem, cloud or hybrid infrastructure, you will now have one single app to manage effectively. By adding support for cloud MFA for macOS users, the new authenticator helps move your authentication to the cloud with continued support for software tokens. Existing software token users can easily move to the SecurID Authenticator 5.0 by simply re-importing their tokens. Migration of software tokens from the RSA Software Token 4.2.3 desktop is not currently supported.

Updated Agents for Microsoft Windows

SecurID announces two updated agents for Microsoft Windows:

• RSA Authentication Agent 7.4.5 for Microsoft Windows resolves customer issues. For more information, see the Release Notes.
• RSA MFA Agent 2.1.3 for Microsoft Windows adds support for Windows 11 and resolves customer issues. For more information, see the Release Notes.

RSA MFA Agent 1.4.1 for macOS will Add Support for Monterey (macOS 12)

The upcoming RSA MFA Agent 1.4.1 for macOS will add support for macOS computers running with Intel or Apple M1 ARM based processors on the macOS Monterey (macOS 12.2 or later) operating system.

New and Updated Third-Party Integrations from RSA Ready

The following integrations were recently completed by RSA or certified by RSA through the RSA Ready Technology Partner Program. For Implementation Guides, see SecurID Integrations on the SecurID Community.

• Fortanix Data Security Manager (DSM) SaaS (new, Cloud Authentication Service) – provides integrated data security with encryption, multi-cloud key management, tokenization, and other capabilities from one platform, delivered-as-a-service. Now supports SecurID Access MFA via SAML including SSO and Relying Party.
• Microsoft Azure AD (new, Cloud Authentication Service) – can be used as a 3^rd party IDP for MFA access to SecurID Cloud Admin Console via SAML.  
• VMware Cloud Director (new, Cloud Authentication Service) – a leading cloud service-delivery platform used by cloud providers to operate & manage successful cloud-service businesses. Now supports SecurID Access MFA via SAML including SSO and Relying Party.
• VMware vSphere (new, Authentication Manager) – VMware’s cloud computing virtualization platform. Supports 2FA with Authentication Manager via SecurID Authentication API for C and Java.

We would like to remind all Technology Partners with an integration that used SecurID Authentication API for C and Java, by the end of 2022, to plan to support Authentication Manager – and the Cloud Authentication Service – using the SecurID Authentication API v1.x. Documentation and a YAML file (logon required) are available on SecurID Community. Contact SecurID Partner Engineering for questions and technical support, rsapesupport@securid.com.
