American Totalisator Success Story
|
AmTote deploys SafeWord® PremierAccess® tokens in conjunction with Cisco ACS 3.1 and multiple Cisco routers/firewalls.
"There must be no doubt that the people who need access can get in," said Bullock, "but at the same time,
we need to ensure that those individuals are the only people who can get in.
"The SafeWord silver tokens don't expire and are event-synchronous instead of time-synchronous,
which means the burden of having to keep the token clock and the server clock in
constant sync is eliminated."

Blue Cross Success Story
|
For Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBSKS), security was of critical consideration--especially with the new regulations defined by 1996's Health Information Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).
BCBKS needed 100% reliable perimeter network protection, and 100% confidence
that their business partners could connect and communicate with each other
and with the BCBS network safely and securely.
BCBSKS uses SafeWord to protect connections between their business partners
and to give them secure system access: "We have a policy that says our
partners can only connect with strong authentication. SafeWord gives us the
capability to enforce this policy."

State Government Success Story
|
When a state government sought to upgrade its network, the planners wanted
the system to provide higher confidence in the identity of its network users.
Hardware-based tokens have an established record of
providing strong security and work with existing systems, but can be
costly to deploy thousands of the devices. And some software tokens aren't
necessarily platform independent.
The State's contractor switched them to SafeWord SofTokens with a
SafeWord authentication server. SofToken was compatible with all of
the state systems, and the SafeWord server handles any authentication
technology, reducing the State's administrative costs.

Musco Lighting Success Story

Musco Lighting is recognized as a world-class leader in sports lighting with lighting systems installed around the globe.
With 70 people out in the field, all requiring access to the network from various locations, Musco needed to make sure that the people logging in were Musco employees with legitimate authority to access the network.
Already a user of Citrix, Musco found Web-based access using secure gateway
a simple, reliable, and cost effective way to access applications over the
Internet. With the combination of Safeword for Citrix and secure gateway,
they quickly implemented strong authentication and strong encryption.
