(Nasdaq: RSAS - news), the most trusted name in e-security(TM), today announced a worldwide contract with KPMG, the global accounting, tax and consulting firm, intended to ensure that only authorized users gain access to all the firm's worldwide network files, applications and communications. Under the terms of the agreement, KPMG has licensed RSA ACE/Server® software and will supply RSA SecurID® key fob tokens to all employees worldwide to protect KPMG's entire global network and all operating systems. In addition, the agreement establishes an alliance between the two companies to collaborate on future technologies and direction.
