As data breaches continue to hit the headlines, Microsoft and RSA today said they would integrate data protection products in a deepening of their long-standing relationship.

As a result, Microsoft will embed the data-classification engine of RSA's Data Loss Prevention Suite into existing and future products. It also said it would tightly integrate RSA's DLP Suite 6.5 with Windows Server 2008's Active Directory Rights Management Services -- which assigns user rights to help control their access to content like intranet sites, e-mails and documents.
