RSA is 10 years behind in technology and in executive leadership
Pros
Invented the security market Invented Identity Invented Packet capture Had the most broad Governance software Has (had) some strong clients
Cons
• Symphony thought is was intelligent when it acquired RSA from dell but has proved to be amateurs not replacing key leadership, making the firm atrophy across marketing, product, engineering and at a sales leadership level • The technology in each org has atrophied over many years causing clients to move to other technologies, RSA has at least 7 years of catch up in each division and market. Each market's technology is rapidly moving forward- and RSA cannot keep up • RSA SecureID had had its leadership position taken ways by a vast array of competitors that have redefined SecurID's market. • NetWitness is seeing a large number of clients and channel partners leave because their product is severely behind and has not seen enhancements in 7+ years. • Leadership in both organizations, perhaps more in NetWitness has completely turned over in Engineering, Marketing, Legal, CIO, CISO, Product at a C-Level and shocking over 18 moths or more none have been replaced. • Incompetency in in terms of Gartner and other critical Analyst no - longer have NetWitness on the map. Shamefully, the once leader in SIEM and Network Detection and Response is not on the map. • Current market solution requirements are non-existent. This includes Behavioral Analytics (UEBA), Cloud SIEM, End Point, Network Detection and Response. Much more can be written - but I am exhausted.
