Guarding and Protecting Dubai Municipality's Network and Ensuring the Integrity of the Information That Drives the City | 2006-12-05 | Symantec |
| Few cities in the world are thriving to the extent Dubai is today. Diversification in the last few years into a service and tourism-oriented economy has placed significant pressure on the city's municipal services delivered by the Dubai Municipality. To combat threats to its desktop estate from viruses, worms and other attacks, Dubai Municipality has deployed a next-generation Symantec security solution. As a result, Dubai is benefiting from uninterrupted public services delivery, the Municipality itself has not had a single virus attack for two years, and the time taken to update 3,000 desktops across the estate with security measures has been reduced from one month to 15 minutes.

Children's Hospital Streamlines IT Authentication, Eliminates Manual Processes | 2006-11-08 01:00:18 | Microsoft |
| Children's Hospital Boston, one of the most successful pediatric hospitals in the United States, supports its clinical and administrative activities with a range of IT applications. Access to these was traditionally managed using a Sun iPlanet directory, but isolated islands of identity information made it difficult to authenticate users effectively. To address this, Children's deployed a platform-independent directory service based on Microsoft Active Directory Application Mode. Children's also implemented Microsoft Identity Integration Server 2003 to automatically synchronize data between systems. As a result, identity information is accurate and up-to-date, helping ensure compliance with regulatory legislation. In addition, manual data management has been reduced by 75 percent, freeing administrators to focus on value-added development activities. | |||

Insurance Firm Cuts Costs, Increases Security With Global Identity Management System | 2006-11-08 01:00:18 | Microsoft |
| As a global insurance, reinsurance, and financial risk specialist, the XL Capital group of companies (XL) wanted to create a global identity management system.

Because employees needed multiple IDs and passwords to access these systems, the company faced security risks and incurred high support costs. With help from Microsoft, Unisys, and RSA Security, XL implemented a solution using RSA ClearTrust and RSA Sign-On Manager, Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Active Directory, Active Directory Application Mode (ADAM), and Microsoft Identity Integration Server 2003. Now, the company's systems are more secure, and employees can use a single password to access more than 300 enterprise applications. | |||
