Businesses are increasing the availability of data to improve effectiveness, competitiveness and flexibility in the way the conduct their business. This drives them to use new tools and business processes to deliver sustainable changes to management, workers, suppliers partners and customers.
Here are just a few of the ways in which CRYPTO-MAS has been used to improve security within a business process:-
Flexible working programs
Businesses and government organisations of all sizes are turning to flexible working practices to either improve efficiency, reduce carbon footprint or comply with regulations. This leads to increases in the deployment of VPN’s, SSL based infrastructures and access networks. All the devices used to deliver these capabilities use static passwords and therefore put data at risk.
“Allowing home user access is wonderful in principle, but very challenging from a security standpoint when considering the sensitivity of our customer data. Being able to help colleagues back to work from long-term illness is a critical part of our homeworking strategy, and one that’s been made a reality by CRYPTO-MAS.”
Colin Campbell, Stroud & Swindon Building Society
Web based collaboration applications
The development of on-line collaboration portals is changing the way that businesses and organisations interact with their suppliers or partners. Few portals use anything other than static passwords to allow access – therefore exposing an organisation to un-necessary risk.
Web based trading systems
An increasing amount of business-to-business (B2B) trading is now done using on-line systems, where credit card or banking information is held. Without proper security such sites put the business and its customers’ confidentiality and assets at risk.
“The value of our company, like most other businesses, is mainly related to the uniqueness of the data held in our systems. So, ensuring we know exactly who is accessing the data at any given point and protecting its integrity is paramount to our shareholders.” Ware Adams, DC Energy
Web based banking applications
Banks are looking to leverage the on-line banking strategies that they have implemented for consumers into their business banking customers. To do this they are looking for high quality tokens and head office systems that are easy to integrate and deploy.
Field sales and CRM applications
Fast and easy access to data while on the road improves customer service and employee efficiency.
