(Nasdaq: RSAS) today announced RSA® Certificate Manager 6.6 and RSA® Registration Manager 6.6, which deliver greater functionality and ease-of-use to customers deploying comprehensive digital certificate solutions. With an improved credential lifecycle management process, enhanced scalability and superior deployment flexibility, RSA Security's new offering will help companies efficiently introduce and rapidly expand their use of digital certificates.

Specific benefits made possible by new capabilities in RSA Certificate Manager 6.6 and RSA Registration Manager 6.6 include:

It can also issue certificates for different applications according to customizable policies, providing customers with the flexibility required to more broadly deploy certificates.
