EMC Press Release

EMC Captiva Cloud Toolkit Transforms Web-Based Scanning; Achieves Strong Third-Party Adoption

• Fast adoption from scanner manufacturers and wide support for browsers and development platforms ensures "out of the box" support

Full Story:

EMC Corporation (NYSE: EMC) today announced strong adoption of its EMC Captiva Cloud Toolkit. The toolkit transforms web-based scanning by providing a simple way for developers to add scanning functionality to web applications, enabling scanning from all document scanners and multifunction peripherals (MFP) that support the ISIS and TWAIN standards.

New RSA Service Helps Customers Detect and Shut Down Rogue Mobile Apps

EMC Press Release

New RSA Service Helps Customers Detect and Shut Down Rogue Mobile Apps

RSA FraudAction Anti Rogue App Service Monitors for Rogue Mobile Apps which Target End User Devices and Data

BLACKHAT 2012 Conference – Las Vegas - July 25, 2012

News Summary:

• Rapid growth of app stores for mobile devices has received significant attention from consumers, businesses and fraudsters alike.
• Mobile apps have emerged as a new cybercrime attack vector for phishing and malware.
• RSA FraudAction Anti Rogue App Service is a new managed service designed to detect and take action against malicious/unauthorized mobile apps that silently infiltrate online app stores.
• The service monitors all major app stores for all mobile operating systems, detects and shuts down malicious apps that are targeting customers to help reduce end user credential loss, financial fraud as well as damage to organizations' brand equity.

Full Story:

To counter the emergence of malicious and unauthorized apps appearing on mobile app stores, RSA, The Security Division of EMC (NYSE: EMC), today introduced the RSA FraudAction™ Anti Rogue App Service designed to detect and take action against rogue mobile apps that attempt to serve up malware or phishing attacks.

RSA FraudAction Anti Rogue App Service is an anti-fraud solution designed to detect and shut down rogue mobile apps. By combining the industry's most experienced anti-fraud experts with a proven, propriety threat-detection infrastructure, RSA helps organizations obtain visibility into the mobile app landscape, giving their fraud teams the ability to understand this new threat vector. RSA's new service helps organizations discover fraudulent mobile apps that are leveraging customer brands to infect end users or steal credentials. RSA's proactive approach helps ensure online app stores are constantly monitored and action is taken against rogue mobile app threats.

According to multiple research reports, the risk to mobile device security is increasing:

• 71 percent of organizations allow their employees to use their own mobile devices for company business. (Source: GI mSecurity Survey Report, April 2012, Goode Intelligence)
• 86 percent of all Android malware is actually repackaged versions of legitimate apps, but with malicious payloads. (Source: Android Malware Genome Project, Department of Computer Science at the North Carolina State University)
• Number of malicious Android apps jumps to over 20,000 in July 2012. (Source: TrendMicro TrendLabs Jul 2, 2012)

Key benefits of the RSA FraudAction Anti Rogue App Service include:

• Proactively manages risk to business by providing visibility into mobile app-based threats.
• Reduces fraud loss by shutting down rogue apps to help minimize impact of mobile app-based attacks to customer base.
• Provides comprehensive app store monitoring for all major app stores.

Available immediately worldwide, RSA will launch the RSA FraudAction Anti Rogue App Service in its booth at the BlackHat 2012 Conference in Las Vegas. More information can be found at:www.emc.com/security/rsa-identity-protection-and-verification/rsa-fraudaction/rsa-fraudaction-antirogue-service.htm

RSA Executive Quote:

Dan Schiappa, RSA Senior Vice President, Identity & Data Protection

"We're finding that organizations offering legitimate mobile apps used for online banking, retail, gaming and other functions aren't prepared and are mostly unaware of the mobile app threats lurking in app stores. Driven by RSA's experienced team of anti-fraud analysts, the RSA FraudAction Anti Rogue App Service is designed to help these organizations reduce fraud losses by monitoring for, rooting out and shutting down rogue apps before they can successfully exploit unknowing mobile consumers in an attempt to distribute malware and steal sensitive personal information for financial gain."

Analyst Quote:

Chris Hazelton, Research Director, Mobile & Wireless, 451 Research

"Since app stores are a primary source for mobile software, the large volume of new and updated applications regularly added to these stores makes it easy for cybercriminals to hide illicit activities within legitimate apps. Despite the best efforts of app store operators to police their own catalogs for rogue apps, the potential damage posed by a Trojan app using a company's brand image cannot be understated. Active monitoring of app stores will help organizations stay ahead of potential mobile app threats that leverage legitimate brands to target consumers for malware distribution and phishing."

City of Sacramento Transforms Legislative Processes and Improves Public Service with EMC Documentum xCP

Saves $500,000 Annually in Operational Costs and Tens of Thousands of Staff Hours a Year; Solution Powers Legislative Document Review; Improves Citizen Service and Accessibility

HOPKINTON, Mass - July 23, 2012

EMC Corporation (NYSE: EMC) today announced that the City of Sacramento, Calif. has transformed its legislative process with EMC® Documentum® xCP, an integrated platform for building dynamic business solutions and an action engine for Big Data. As part of the transformation, the City responded to City Council directives by re-engineering its legislative review process with an EMC solution featuring advanced business process management (BPM), enterprise content management (ECM), intelligent capture and records management capabilities. With Documentum xCP, the City has saved money and increased visibility, efficiency and accessibility to the public.

Customer Benefits:

• Significant Cost Savings via Paperless Environment – The City significantly  reduced operational costs and its carbon footprint by eliminating paper filing systems, off-site storage, and processes which resulted in over $500,000 savings in a year.
• Increased Visibility – Established Documentum xCP as the foundation for the City's Automated Legislative Document Review System, providing a collaborative environment with full audit trail of all process activities and enhancing transparency across all City departments. Legislative documents such as Council materials are delivered digitally with enhanced navigation and are publically accessible on the City's website within hours of being finalized.
• Increased Productivity and Operational Efficiency – By automating critical business processes including Legislative Document Review and Public Record Act requests, the City has increased agility and saved tens of thousands of staff hours a year associated with searching, printing, and inter-office approvals. Previous manual paper processes prevented efficient collaboration and was prone to errors.

Customer Challenges and Solution:

Today's global economy and citizen service priorities have required government agencies like the City of Sacramento to provide "full service" visibility. Citizens want to interact with their government in more open and direct ways, creating new opportunities and challenges for elected and public-serving officials. To address these demands, Sacramento Mayor and Council Member directives enhance efficiency, transparency and accountability across all levels of city government.

In deploying Documentum xCP, the City established systems to better manage processes throughout the city with consistent auditable information. The legislative review process, automated critical business processes and document repository also provided greater accessibility of information to citizens. The countless staff hours saved by electronically preparing, reviewing, distributing, tracking, and approving documents are now directed toward other public services. Documentum xCP also includes document retention services to configure disposition policies across all content types to meet compliance requirements and save storage costs.
