Dell Technologies subsidiary and cyber security vendor RSA has a new president in Rohit Ghai, set to take effect upon the close of the transaction involvingย a Dell EMCโs Enterprise Content Division (ECM).
A press release issued Monday morning made the announcement, quoting chairman and CEO of Dell Technologies, Michael Dell, as saying Ghai will help RSA โcontinue to excel as one of the industryโs most pervasive and influential security brands.โ

Ghaiโs canned quotes refer to RSAโs mission to deliver โtransformational architecture that connects insights with business context,โ and the quality of the talent on RSAโs leadership, engineering, and sales teams. He says RSA is committed to its customers and partner ecosystem.
Following Dellโs completed acquisition of EMC in September, Waterloo-based OpenText announced it would be acquiring the Enterprise Content Management division that was a part of EMC. That deal included Documentum, an ECM firm that had been earlier acquired by EMC. Ghai was president of the ECM division since December 2014, and previously worked at CA.
Ghai spoke in front of RSA employees on Monday morning at the companyโs headquarters in Bedford, Mass., according to RSAโs Twitter feed. There, he said thereโs never been a more critical time for cyber security. In a blog post published on Jan. 8 to RSAโs website, Gohitย makes the same case.
โ2016 brought an unprecedented focus on the global cybersecurity situation,โ we wrote. โFrom the use of IoT vulnerabilities to halt the largest global websites, to politically motivated intrusions, to power grids being targeted โ threats that were previously unimaginable are now playing out regularly.โ

In his last blog post on Dell EMCโs Pulse blog, Ghai pointed to Gartnerโs Magic Quadrant for ECM, which named his division as part of that report for the 13th consecutive time. There, he wrote:
โChange is inevitable. Change helps differentiate the leaders from the also-rans. The future belongs to those that not just embrace change but manifest it in the market.โ
