On July 20, 2005, the Board of Directors of RSA Security Inc. approved several revisions to RSA Security’s Code of Ethics. These revisions are intended to clarify some of the obligations of RSA Security’s employees, officers or directors under the original Code of Ethics. Specifically, the revisions:
• Clarify RSA Security’s commitment to respecting third parties’ confidential information and intellectual property rights,
• Specifically require each officer, employee and director to comply with the ethical standards of RSA Security’s industry and of any industry or professional group to which the individual belongs,
• Clarify what constitutes a prohibited "lavish" gift, and
• Clarify the procedure by which employees other than executive officers or directors may seek waivers of any provision of the Code of Ethics.
The revised Code of Ethics is attached as Exhibit 14.1 to this report and incorporated herein by reference. RSA Security has also posted the Code of Ethics on the "corporate governance" page in the "investors" section of its website (www.rsasecurity.com).
