THE CHALLENGE

As a large European bank with more than 12,000 employees requiring secure access into corporate systems and networks, the bank needed a robust authentication solution that could be deployed across a geographically spread workforce but managed centrally. To mitigate against the threat of data breach, cryptographic authentication using public key infrastructure (PKI), was the chosen method as this offered the optimum two-factor authentication (2FA) security required.

Working towards 2FA being mandated across all employees, the IT team were actively looking for a solution that would integrate with their multiple Microsoft certificate authorities (CA), hardware security modules (HSM), and enable the bank to print their own employee smart cards.

A simple and intuitive solution for IT operators to use on a day-to-day basis was essential, as was a vendor who offered future scope for deployment across other end user devices besides smart cards, including USB tokens, mobile devices, and virtual smart card enabled technology.
