Tate selects Signify to provide secure access
Tate Office, part of the Carlisle Staffing Services Group, has selected Signify to deliver secure remote access to its corporate systems.
The company selected Signify's business partner, ISC Networks, to deploy Signify's managed RSA SecurID strong authentication service to all their staff working remotely. Staff members carry personal SecurID from Signify tokens, which generate a unique 'one time' passcode. This code must be entered with a secret PIN before the user is guaranteed access to Tate Office's secure databases.
A recent Butler Group report stated all organisations must be aware of the Data Protection Act or face potential fines, or even imprisonment of directors, should personal data be unprotected. The implementation of Signify security by ISC Networks ensures that Tate Office can comply with the stringent requirements of the newly revised Act.
Dean Gardner, IT support analyst at Tate Office, said: "Signify has simplified the logistics of rolling out security to a distributed workforce. This means we have benefited doubly - not only can we protect our client's sensitive data in an easy-to manage-way, we have also ensured we won't be caught out by the Data Protection Act."
Signify's Authentication Control Centre (SACC) manages the process of issuing new tokens to remote staff, keeps control of who has access to Tate Office's network and deals with lost tokens. This allows the IT team to focus on internal issues while the SACC provides constant outsourced security.
Signify provides fully managed secure identity management services based on RSA Security's SecurID and other proven authentication technologies.
Rather than relying on passwords, users must present two forms of identification: something they know - a secret PIN - and something unique they have - a token, smartcard, mobile phone or PDA.
