“After studying the marketplace carefully, we selected
SecurEnvoy because it allows us the flexibility of strongly authenticating our remote
users without the burden of managing additional hardware tokens or smartcards”.
“We realised that productivity and security had to go hand-in-hand. Our employees
need access to our applications when travelling or working from home without compromising
our network infrastructure. The combined SecurEnvoy and Juniper® Networks solution
meets all these requirements”

“What I love about SecurAccess is how easy it is to administer, our global service desk manages the password administration which can also be accessed by the technical teams in each country and as all employees have a mobile phone there is no need for any additional hardware.”

“We work with many security organisations, Government
agencies and Police forces around the world. The nature of our business means we
have to preserve and protect any sensitive information that is found, recovered
or retrieved. As our staff travel around the globe for business we found that our
hardware tokens was hampering our business practice. We selected the phone based
technology from SecurEnvoy as did not require any software installing upon the phone
and could be used even with loss of signal and SMS delays. Investigation of users’
habits demonstrated that they protected their mobile phone far more than any other
type of authentication device”
Nick Furneaux

Devon County Council “We selected SecurEnvoy SecurAccess, as it didn’t require
physical tokens and therefore eliminated all token deployment costs. We felt that
using mobile phones was an ideal cost effective solution which our users embraced.
Using their phone as a virtual token authenticator was preferred by our staff as
they already carried their mobile phone”
Tim Leishman

Domestic & General “Since
deploying SecurEnvoy SecurAccess, we have found that we have
been able to get our SAP Integration Partner online and building
our SAP solution far quicker than we could have if we had stuck
with the previous token based solution.. We have also been able
to get several suppliers online in a matter of hours where
previously it would have taken months.”

Dundee County Council ![]() "One of the bigselling points of SecurEnvoy was that it integrated easily with Active Directory, itwas easy to deploy, and it sent out the tokens to a mobile phone. So we didn'tneed any physical tokens to distribute. That was a big plus, certainly," he said."SecurEnvoy also supported multiple Active Directories -- we operate acrosstwo Active Directories here at the council."
Graeme Quinn

Hertfordshire County Council “Once
we decided to look at the market, we quite quickly realised that
a two factor solution that could utilise our users mobile phone
as the second factor would be the best move for us as on
organisation. We were
keen to reduce the cost of our current two factor authentication
environment while maintaining high security levels. By deploying
SecurEnvoy SecurAccess we were able to enhance the user
experience. The fact that
we were able to reduce the cost and administration overhead as
well was a bonus.”

Harwich Haven Authority “We were frustrated with our existing token based authentication
solution, as we were unable to resolve technical issues, which stalled the role
out of our remote access infrastructure. Numerous support calls were escalated to
our token manufacturer and still could not achieve our goal of integration. We were
slipping behind project timelines and decided to rethink our authentication strategy.
Our reseller placed us in contact with SecurEnvoy, we downloaded an evaluation copy,
easily installed the product without any prior training and quickly resolved our
integration issues with one support call to SecurEnvoy. The staff at SecurEnvoy
were very knowledgeable on all aspects of secure remote access deployment and how
their product integrates within our environment. This allowed HHA to finish the
project on time and within budget”
Steve Furness

Holloway White Allom “One of our clients and their architects wanted to view
in real time the progress of a renovation. We installed web cameras and supporting
infrastructure, however we were concerned about how to control access to the camera
images. HWA realised the cameras required a high level of protection, in that only
authorised users could view them. Working with authentication vendor SecurEnvoy,
a Two-Factor authentication solution was used to control access to the camera images.
The end result was that the client and their architects could view work in progress
and could respond to issues in real time. Our building inspectors and project managers
also used the cameras to monitor work without having to attend site. This approach
is now used across multiple renovation projects which allow us to finish projects
ahead of schedule and save onsite visit costs. reported"

John Lewis Plc The
John Lewis Partnership is currently in the process of rolling out SecurAccess to
15,000 employees: “SecurAccess has been really well received within the organisation,
it has been working effectively and we have had no problems with the roll out. ”

Lawrence Graham LLP “SecurEnvoy SecurAccess ticked all our requirement boxes, it was
slick and easy to install and integrate with the Juniper and
Citrix environments. The direct integration with our Active
Directory servers was a big plus as it did not require the need
to install a proprietary database, removing the need to manage a
second database and LDAP synchronizers. Although SecurEnvoy
SecurAccess had direct integration with Active Directory we were
pleased to find out there were no schema changes needed.
Jason Petrucci

Lincoln City Council “We
required a cost effective, secure, reliable and flexible
solution providing two factor authentication for remote
access. We evaluated three products, including our
existing supplier, during the selection process.
SecurEnvoy’s cost effectiveness, ‘In Case of Emergency’
(ICE) services and reliability came through as the
primary choice.”

"We
liked how the SecurMail system worked and decided that the
method of sending passcodes to a mobile was better than the key
fob solution that we previously used. Also it was better to have
one solution for sending passcodes than having different ones
depending on whether it is a secure email or remote access.
Third benefit was that I no longer have the hassle of having to
replace key fobs every 3 to 5 years.”

Midas Capital “The Citrix environment at iimia required a solution
that could easily integrate. First investigation showed RSA and Secure Computing
had inbuilt Citrix agents. These seemed the ideal choices, however the realisation
of having to manage and deploy hardware tokens was too resource intensive, coupled
with the fact that the user database was completely separate from our existing Microsoft
Active Directory. This meant additional administration overhead was required to
keep all user databases in sync with each other. Secure Computing AD plug-in, did
not give the real time integration that was first envisaged and was removed from
the selection process”

NHS Children With Special Needs was causing issues with administration, distribution and end user convenience. We selected the SecurEnvoy SecurAccess solution, as it removed the need for physical tokens by leveraging existing mobile phones. Users preferred to use their phone over a token as they were not required to carry and protect additional hardware.”
Jim Smith

Peterborough City Council “Organisations
have to allow for human error when it comes to IT
security, tokens will inevitably get lost and broken."
"We wanted to minimise the amount of information and
number of devices users required to authenticate
securely, which SecurAccess enabled due to the tokenless
technology and authentication options it provides. As
soon as the user base saw it, they understood the
benefits of getting rid of tokens, and found the system
very easy to use."

Princes Trust “SecurAccess
was the best system for us as it wasn’t as costly as the
competition and was much easier and faster to implement.
Also, unlike token-based security solutions there is no
risk of employees forgetting or loosing hardware tokens.
Using their mobiles, which staff always have on them,
seemed like a great idea and the best process for us.”
Matthew Brentnall

Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea “The
borough already provides
over a thousand of our
employees with mobile
phones, so we were able
to utilise this existing
investments as well as
save money on the cost
of purchasing physical
tokens. However, it
wouldn’t have mattered
if SecurEnvoy had of
been a similar price to
our previous system
because we were so keen
on bringing in the
technology."

Save The Children “Our existing security process used single-factor authentication, which became clearly
unsuitable for our needs. We needed to find a way of creating a two-factor system
without incurring excessive costs to the charity.”

SBJ Ltd (Insurance) “With a myriad of choice for Two-Factor vendors in the
Security market, SBJ found SecurEnvoy was a company that wanted to work with SBJ
to facilitate a cost effective solution. Not only could they provide security benefits
for our Citrix environment, they also designed scalability to expand with our growing
remote access strategy”.

Southampton University Hospital NHS Trust “With increasing pressure on the NHS
as budget cuts increase, we have to make sure our
decisions around implementing IT and technology are the
most efficient and cost-effective options. Presenting
cases for IT spend to the Board can be a challenge, but
when it comes to security and patient confidentiality,
it’s imperative that the system is flawless,”
Ryan Hewitt

Symantec "If
our pre-sales team forgot their tokens when going out to
demonstrate our products to clients remotely, they were
unable to access our demonstration environment. This
proved an administrative nightmare because they had no
other means of logging on to our environment. We were
looking for a solution that not only solved this problem
and was cost-effective, but also allowed for easy
adoption for our pre-sales team.”
Adam Burt
Senior Technical Consultant |
T-Mobile UK “We’re a mobile phone company and it’s important that we live up to our brand. We
want to make mobile and remote working as easy as possible, while still maintaining
the highest levels of security. But running 3,000 secure tokens was proving to be
a major overhead, and wasn’t user-friendly. SecurAccess has eliminated those problems.
But the best thing about it is that SecurAccess and SecurICE strengthen our own
messages about mobile phones, and gives a new layer of functionality to our own
products, strengthening our brand values even further. We’re drinking our own champagne
with this deal.”
Darren Westmore

The UNITE Group plc “Simplicity and ease of use are key criteria to our mobile
workforce. After several years using hardware tokens, security was always seen as
a hurdle that staff had to overcome. The business required a fresh approach to managing
their remote access environment. SecurEnvoy SecurAccess was selected, as it removed
the need for physical tokens, solved problems of deployment and stopped issues with
synchronization errors. Costs were reduced as we leveraged our investment in existing
mobile phones”.
