The big picture
RSA's expansion to Linux underscores the growing enterprise demand for ubiquitous passwordless authentication. While competitors focus on cloud and modern OS environments, RSA is targeting legacy and edge cases. The move positions RSA as the only vendor offering end-to-end passwordless solutions across all major enterprise environments. This could accelerate adoption in highly regulated sectors like financial services and government where Linux is prevalent.
