SecurEnvoy signs South African energy giant

Two-factor authentication firm to provide 3,000 licences for safer remote working

One of South Africa’s leading energy providers has signed a deal for SecurEnvoy to supply them with SecurAccess – the system which provides users with passcodes to their mobile phones as an additional security layer for remote workers.

SecurEnvoy will initially provide 3,000 user licences as a replacement for the previous system of hardware tokens. Over the next 18 months it will then provide an additional 3,000 licences – effectively enabling twice as many employees to work remotely. This is achieved when so much cost is taken away from the token hardware and infrastructure, enabling double the amount of users to use the system for no additional investment!

“Mobile working is undoubtedly becoming more common, and we want to support employees who want more flexibly, without compromising security,” said Steve Watts, co-founder at SecurEnvoy. “Tokens get lost, go wrong and create waste, but everyone has a mobile phone with them all of the time, so it’s a much safer way to get passcodes to users to allow them to log on.”
