“With home-working the potential is huge…a worker should be able to go into any building and have secure access to Lewisham systems.”
- Kerry Keer, Programme Manager, Lewisham Council
Background
The local Lewisham government is constantly under pressure to provide better, faster, and more tailored and inclusive services to its constituents. These services must be provided both securely and economically and thus they have a number of individuals providing services from various locations across the region. With its many dispersed workers accessing networked data through a VPN, Lewisham needed a solution that would ensure that the private and personal information of its residents could not be compromised. The challenge was to provide remote government workers with an easy to use, secure access solution that could be implemented quickly and affordably. They needed to allow both local government workers the ability to access Lewisham systems and to have access to the network from other agencies. To solve their problem and help relieve this pressure, CRYPTOCard was called in to implement its strong managed authentication solution, CRYPTO-MAS.
CRYPTOCard’s Managed Solution
The result of implementing this solution is that over 250 local authority employees now have secure access when working remotely. And with all of the processes managed by CRYPTOCard, Lewisham receives the benefits of strong two-factor authentication without the need of implementing it in-house. This virtually seamless implementation, and absence of any management makes the CRYPTO-MAS solution a perfect fit for the fluctuating number of local workers in Lewisham that require secure VPN network access. |
