EMC Exec. VP Coviello visits CS

Arthur W. Coviello, Jr., EMC Corporation's Executive Vice President and President of RSA, the Security Division of EMC Corporation, spoke in the Department to a standing room only crowd on October 29th. Coviello talked about how information security is undergoing a transformation in the very dynamic open world in which we live.

Coviello is responsible for RSA’s strategy and day-to-day operations as it delivers EMC’s global vision of information-centric security. He was Chief Executive Officer of RSA Security, Inc. prior to its acquisition by EMC in 2006. He joined the company in 1995 and was a driving force in its rapid growth, increasing revenue from $25 million in 1995 to more than $310 million in 2005. Under his stewardship RSA became acknowledged as the de facto standard for two-factor authentication and encryption, and as a leader in identity and access management.
