RSA Security has announced an expanded collaboration with Microsoft, reinforcing its leadership in passwordless authentication and AI-driven identity security. The update, revealed at the RSAC Conference 2026, introduces new capabilities within Microsoft 365 E7: The Frontier Suite, enabling enterprises to secure both human users and AI agents across hybrid, cloud, and on-premises environments.
“At RSA, passwordless isn’t just a feature—it’s a discipline that has to hold when everything else breaks,” said Jim Taylor, President, Chief Product & Strategy Officer, RSA.
By integrating RSA® ID Plus for Microsoft with Microsoft 365 E7, organizations gain trusted authentication for sensitive operations while minimizing reliance on passwords. This expansion follows RSA’s participation in the Microsoft Intelligent Security Association (MISA), deployment of RSA Advisor for Admin Threats within Microsoft Security Copilot, and the release of RSA ID Plus Admin Logs Connector, further cementing the partnership.

“The rise of AI agents in the enterprise means organizations need to rethink how they secure every identity—human and machine alike,” said Greg Nelson, CEO of RSA. “Expanded RSA passwordless capabilities and advanced MFA resilience features, now available in Microsoft E7, allow organizations to eliminate passwords, stop advanced identity threats, and streamline secure access at scale.”
Enhancements include desktop passwordless V2 for macOS and Windows with online, offline, and hybrid high-availability options, advanced mobile passkeys with proximity verification, and datacenter passwordless support for Linux and OS servers. These updates can be deployed independently or alongside the Microsoft Entra ID suite, enabling organizations to implement passwordless authentication consistently across all environments.
“The partnership between RSA and Microsoft is pivotal for customers facing increasingly complex security demands,” said Laura Marx, Chief Marketing and Growth Officer at RSA. “By advancing integrated solutions for Microsoft Entra ID, we empower high-security, highly regulated organizations with resilient, innovative security measures.”
Through these initiatives, RSA continues to deliver comprehensive, enterprise-grade passwordless solutions—including FIDO2, QR codes, biometrics, and hardware security—ensuring organizations maintain secure, seamless, and resilient access even in edge cases or system outages.
