For decades, RSA has secured the world’s most critical organizations across finance, government, healthcare, and energy. Managing over 60 million identities globally, RSA leads the market in identity and access management (IAM), governance, and lifecycle solutions.

In this exclusive interview with Business Monthly, CEO Greg Nelson discusses RSA’s expansion, innovation priorities, and strategic vision.

Business Monthly: RSA has announced plans to expand its Center of Excellence in Egypt. How will this expansion translate into new revenue streams and strengthen RSA’s global competitiveness?

Greg Nelson: Expanding in Egypt allows us to bring even more talent to our work developing identity solutions. We’re innovating solutions in four critical areas: passwordless authentication for every user, high-assurance identity solutions, identity security posture management (ISPM) to detect and resolve threats, and harnessing AI in cybersecurity. Building our team in Egypt accelerates innovation and strengthens collaboration. This expansion directly supports new revenue streams by enabling us to deliver faster, more effective solutions that enhance customer trust and global competitiveness.

BM: What strategic advantages does Egypt offer RSA in terms of cost efficiency, scalability, and access to global markets?

Nelson: Egypt has a young, highly educated workforce that supports our global operations. We’ve recruited exceptional team members across nearly every function, allowing us to scale efficiently while maintaining high standards of innovation. This talent pool gives us cost efficiency, scalability, and the ability to serve our international customer base more effectively.

BM: RSA’s Unified Identity Platform is positioned as a leader in passwordless and risk-based identity security. How does this platform create measurable ROI, and why should investors see it as a growth driver?

Nelson: When identity fails, organizations suffer significant losses. Our 2026 RSA ID IQ Report found that 69% of organizations experienced an identity-related breach in the past three years, a 27-point increase. Twenty-four percent of those organizations lost more than $10 million. Strong identity security prevents ransomware, fines, and downtime. By keeping organizations safe and compliant, RSA delivers measurable ROI. For investors, this represents a clear growth driver: demand for robust identity security is rising, and RSA is uniquely positioned to meet it.

BM: With more than 60 million identities managed, how does RSA monetize its services, and what differentiates its business model?

Nelson: RSA protects the world’s most security-sensitive organizations. Our RSA ID Plus platform is the market’s only complete IAM security solution, offering passwordless MFA, SSO, and credential management. It also provides hybrid failover capability, ensuring secure access even during outages, a differentiator competitors cannot match.

Complementing ID Plus, RSA Governance & Lifecycle automates identity governance and provisioning. It uses ISPM tools to reveal threats and AI-powered dashboards to proactively recommend actions. Together, these solutions balance security, productivity, and compliance, setting RSA apart.

BM: How is RSA positioned to capture market share in emerging areas like AI-driven threat detection?

Nelson: We’re building on our heritage by innovating AI-powered solutions. RSA Risk AI uses machine learning and behavioral analytics to determine user risk before granting access. As threat actors weaponize AI, organizations need equally advanced defenses. With roughly 83 cybersecurity workers for every 100 jobs, and threat actors automating attacks, organizations need AI-powered solutions to adapt. RSA is positioned to deliver those solutions and capture market share.

BM: What is RSA’s long-term vision for shaping the global cybersecurity investment landscape?

Nelson: Since our founding, RSA has shaped the cybersecurity landscape. We continue prioritizing investment and innovation in solutions that support passwordless for every user, ensure high-assurance identity solutions, use identity security posture management to resolve threats, and leverage AI in cybersecurity.
