Being part of the Dell Technologies family of businesses means that RSA, like other businesses such as VMware and Dell EMC, need to adhere to certain standards, policies and practices. One such practice involves the accessibility of Security Advisories and knowledge base articles addressing security vulnerabilities, which are referred to as Security KB articles.
Dell is an active participant in the Software Assurance Forum for Excellence in Code (SAFECode: https://safecode.org), the Forum for Incident Response (FIRST: https://www.first.org) and international standards efforts that are developed for vulnerability disclosure and handling such as ISO 29147 and ISO 30111.
As such, the company has recently taken on an initiative to make Security Advisories and Security KB articles even more accessible and transparent to everyone. This means that the access for Security Advisories and High Profile Security KB articles published on RSA Link in 2019 or later to be publicly accessible, which means that visitors will need to have the ability to access this content even when not logged in to the website.
These changes, which will be occurring on March 14th, are explained in the table below.
Content Type | Current Behavior on RSA Link | Upcoming Changes | Action Plan | |
---|---|---|---|---|

All customers with active maintenance contracts on RSA Link are automatically subscribed to advisories for their respective products upon registering for an account, and this will still be in effect even after the changes in the table above have been deployed. The transition will in fact be completely transparent to the customers with one exception: Email notifications for security advisories via RSA Link have always had the prefix [PRODUCT_NAME Security Advisories] in the subject line (with PRODUCT_NAME being the name of their product) whereas after the change the prefix will be [PRODUCT_NAME Advisories] without the word "Security" present. This means that any users relying on that prefix for email filtering will need to adjust their filters accordingly.
