CORRECTING and REPLACING RSA Announces New Innovations to Stop Help Desk Scams and Protect Passwordless Environments
'RSA provides high-security organizations across Australia with the market's only hybrid authentication and access capabilities they need to operate securely, build resilience, and meet NIS2 and DORA requirements,' said Alaa Abdulnabi, RSA SVP and General Manager, International.
'Only RSA can provide a complete passwordless solution that accounts for every user, use case, and environment,' said Jim Taylor, Chief Product and Technology Officer at RSA.
The updated release reads:
RSA, the security-first identity leader, announced groundbreaking cybersecurity innovations at RSAC Conference 2025 that defend organisations against the next wave of AI powered identity attacks, including IT Help Desk bypasses, malware, social engineering, and other threats. These advancements are especially critical for organisations implementing passwordless strategies and further solidify RSA's position as the only provider of true, enterprise-ready passwordless identity solutions.
Among the highlights is the new RSA ® Help Desk Live Verify (patent pending), a first-of-its-kind feature that prevents social engineering and technical support scams. With bi-directional identity verification, RSA Help Desk Live Verify ensures that both users and IT staff are who they say they are, protecting against attackers impersonating users or help desk agents.
'Passwordless approaches offer tantalizing business benefits like improved user experience and cost savings, but as with any new technology passwordless also introduce new risks into the environment. RSA's platform offers the only enterprise worthy passwordless solution that has security and resilience designed in to address those risks,' said RSA CEO Rohit Ghai. 'Off-the-rack passwordless isn't good enough for government agencies, financial services, and other security-first leaders.'
A New Enterprise Ready Passwordless Platform
RSA is approaching passwordless as a broader platform capability and not simply a convenient new form of authentication. While many vendors offer surface-level point products, RSA delivers comprehensive protection, unmatched resilience, and complete governance—addressing the full lifecycle and all users, from cloud to on-premises.
'Only RSA can provide a complete passwordless solution that accounts for every user, use case, and environment,' said Jim Taylor, Chief Product and Technology Officer at RSA. 'Organisations need comprehensive, enterprise-grade capabilities that are ready for social engineering, fraud, outages, and deepfakes—and RSA is delivering exactly that.'
'RSA provides high-security organizations across Australia with the market's only hybrid authentication and access capabilities they need to operate securely, build resilience, and meet NIS2 and DORA requirements,' said Alaa Abdulnabi, RSA SVP and General Manager, International.
For a passwordless solution to work for enterprises, it must work for every user, in every environment, against every threat, and in every situation. Unlike cloud-first or hardware-only providers, RSA offers passwordless capability across cloud, on-premises, hybrid, and legacy systems—ensuring every user and use case is covered.
RSA also ensures that passwordless access remains available even during internet outages with offline and secure fallback capabilities. RSA complements the widest breadth of supported passwordless protocols and form factors with the greatest security depth against threats like malware, brute force, phishing, and AiTM attacks with RSA ® Mobile Lock, RSA ® Risk AI, and now, RSA Help Desk Live Verify.
RSA Continues Passwordless Innovations
In addition to RSA Help Desk Live Verify, RSA is introducing deep security innovations to strengthen its passwordless offerings:
New RSA Mobile Lock enhancements protect against app tampering, spyware, sideloading, jailbreaking, and AiTM attacks, helping secure passkeys and all authentication methods on both BYOD and managed devices.
Windows Desktop Logon enables new passwordless methods, like QR code scanning and mobile FIDO logon for Windows desktops.
Secure onboarding with ID Verification uses government ID, liveness detection, and Mobile Match to prevent deepfake-based fraud and ensure the person enrolling owns the phone being used.
These solutions are built into RSA ® ID Plus, the industry's most secure hybrid identity security platform.
About RSA

Omdia: Asia's Game Subscription Market Set to Reach $9.4bn by 2029
LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Despite the overwhelming dominance of free-to-play (F2P) games, subscription models are experiencing steady growth across Asia's gaming landscape, and are projected to generate $9.4bn in revenue by 2029, according to a new report by Omdia. The report, ' The state of game subscription in Asia ', reveals that while subscriptions remain a complementary monetization strategy, they are carving out a significant niche, particularly through mobile in-app offerings and enduring PC titles. Key highlights from the research include: Total game subscription revenue in Asia and Oceania is forecast to grow from $6.5bn in 2025 to $9.4bn by 2029. This growth impressively outpaces the global average for subscription share of content spending. Driving this expansion are mobile in-app subscriptions, with revenue rising from $3.6bn in 2025 to $5.8bn by 2029 at a strong 12.7% CAGR. The resources, privileges, and exclusive content included in subscription benefits are ubiquitous in top-grossing Asian mobile games. Primarily sustained by veteran MMORPGs with loyal player bases, PC single-game subscriptions remain the second-largest category, projected to generate $1.1bn in 2026. Subscriptions are increasingly integrated with loot box mechanics and battle passes to boost player retention and spending. Hybrid subscription packages tailored to individual player behavior are increasingly popular with both players and publishers. The rate of adoption of subscription models varies across Asian countries due to diverging gamer preference and differentiation among popular game genres. Cloud gaming subscriptions have largely failed to gain traction in Asia beyond partnerships. Limited gamer demand and a lack of innovation in monetization hinder growth in this segment. 'Asia's gaming market is defined by free-to-play, but subscriptions are finding a vital role,' said Chenyu Cui, Senior Analyst in Omdia's Games practice. 'Mobile in-app subscriptions are the undisputed growth engine, cleverly adapted to enhance retention and spending within the dominant F2P framework. The future lies in hybrid models, deeper UGC integration, and leveraging AI for personalization.' The report, published in July 2025 provides a comprehensive analysis of subscription model adoption, revenue forecasts, regional trends, and publisher strategies across the Asia-Pacific gaming market. It also includes analysis of subscription implementation in leading individual titles. ABOUT OMDIA Omdia, part of Informa TechTarget, Inc. (Nasdaq: TTGT), is a technology research and advisory group.

Hybrid, Multicloud Strategies Gain Traction in U.K.
LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jul 17, 2025-- Enterprises across the U.K. are rapidly modernizing their cloud infrastructures, motivated by a surge in AI and ML workloads that demand scalable and secure cloud solutions, according to a new research report published today by Information Services Group ( ISG ) (Nasdaq: III ), a global AI-centered technology research and advisory firm. The 2025 ISG Provider Lens ® Private/Hybrid Cloud — Data Center Services report for the U.K. finds an upward trend in the adoption of hybrid and multicloud infrastructure models, with significant growth anticipated within the next three years. Performance, data sovereignty, security and regulatory pressures are the primary drivers of this growth. Hybrid cloud is now the preferred model for many U.K. enterprises, because it lets organizations align workloads with appropriate environments and improve data protection. 'U.K. enterprises are actively transitioning toward hybrid and multicloud platforms to support AI and ML workloads and safeguard sensitive data,' said Anthony Drake, partner at ISG. 'These flexible platforms are crucial for protecting organizations against ransomware and malware threats and for achieving cost efficiency.' Enterprises in the U.K. are using hybrid clouds to enhance security with private cloud resources while simultaneously gaining cost savings and flexible scalability from public clouds, ISG says. Increasingly, they are deploying real-time monitoring and ML within private clouds to strengthen data protection, particularly in highly regulated sectors such as healthcare and finance. As organizations embrace cloud environments, they are engaged in large-scale migration of business applications. Most organizations in the U.K. have migrated applications between environments to improve efficiency, capacity, security and innovation, the report says. Companies are optimizing on-premises and private cloud environments by integrating graphics processing units (GPUs) and expanding storage capacities. This approach eases handling of AI and analytical tasks while improving efficiency and resource utilization. Small and midsize enterprises (SMEs) in the U.K. are focused on developing customized cloud solutions to meet industry-specific demands. The uptake of modular data center designs is also on the rise, owing to their low total cost of ownership and accelerated deployment capabilities, ISG says. The U.K. government's designation of data centers as critical infrastructure, coupled with streamlined planning laws, facilitates new data center projects and reinforces a national focus on data protection. The capacity of U.K. data centers is expected to increase twofold by 2028, mainly driven by growing demand for generative AI (GenAI), cloud computing and government-supported infrastructure. 'The U.K.'s cloud market is undergoing rapid transformation, with organizations seeking agility through tailored solutions and modular data center designs,' said Meenakshi Srivastava, lead analyst, ISG Provider Lens Research, and lead author of the report. 'By 2025, 75 percent of enterprise data will be processed outside traditional data centers or cloud environments, indicating a shift in data management practices.' The report also explores other trends related to private/hybrid cloud and data center services in the U.K., including an increased emphasis on sustainability and the integration of agentic AI into hybrid and private cloud environments. For more insights into the private/hybrid cloud and data center services challenges that enterprises in the U.K. face, plus ISG's advice for overcoming them, see the ISG Provider Lens ® Focal Points briefing here. The 2025 ISG Provider Lens ® Private/Hybrid Cloud — Data Center Services report for the U.K. evaluates the capabilities of 69 providers across five quadrants: Managed Services — Large Accounts, Managed Services — Midmarket, Managed Hosting, Colocation Services and AI-Ready Infrastructure Consulting.
