During these days of remote work, have you found yourself with a bit of bonus time that used to be consumed with a daily commute? Why not seize this opportunity to hone your skills and add your newfound knowledge to the benefit of all?
RSA University is pleased to bring to you an all-new training lineup for RSA SecurID Access! Our updated curriculum has been designed to help you quickly get up to speed, based on your role and how you use the product(s).
Following the RS SecurID Access product strategy, we’ve combined a number of courses into a 2-part instructor-led series that will get you the need-to-know in an efficient manner. In addition, we have a brand new On-Demand Lab that’s ideal for longtime SID admins to explore and experience the latest features RSA SecurID has to offer. Take a look at the newest courses listed below!
- RSA SecurID Access Self-Guided Exploration Lab: This BRAND NEW On-Demand Lab course gives you a great overview of what the lab environment includes and a lab guide that will guide you through a number of exercises intended to get your feet just wet enough so you feel comfortable jumping into the pool. Designed for current admins, this course is a great option for RSA SecurID admins who are interested in leveling up their skills, in seeing the latest features, and in practicing with features they might not currently be taking advantage of in their own environment.

Some commonly asked questions:
Q: I/we only have the on-premises version of Authentication Manager (AM). Would I benefit at all from taking the full SecurID Access series?
A: Absolutely. In terms of licensing, where the Base edition used to be only AM, traditional agents and tokens, basic cloud functions are now supported. (MFA Authenticate App, protected access to cloud applications, and “SSO Agent” portal.) If you’re thinking only about Authentication Manager at the Base level, you may be missing out on a number of features that RSA is now including. Our SID Access classes cover all of these other capabilities. (An interesting factoid: About 80% of our customers only use about 30% of available product functionality!) These classes apply to options our customers can offer their end users and to partners for providing more options to their clients.
Q: What version(s) do these new courses reference?
A: At the time of this writing, our lab environments for RSA SecurID Access are on the June 2020 Release. RSA Authentication Manager is currently on 8.4 patch 4, MFA Agent for Windows is v1.0, and MFA Agent for macOS is v1.0 - macOS is something we discuss about in the courses but do not include within our lab environments.
