Unisys Takes Its Own Authentication Medicine | 2008-10-21 | Forrester Research |
| Unisys is a large and diversified systems integrator with operations worldwide. In recent years, the firm has seen its global workforce become increasingly mobile. At the same time, techniques to defeat passwords have become more sophisticated, eroding the security that passwords once provided. Moreover, as a security systems integrator, Unisys felt it was important not only to be secure itself, but to also demonstrate to clients that it believed in its own products and services. To address this challenge, the company embarked on a project to provide every employee with a smart card containing unified physical and logical access credentials.

Leading Smart Card Manufacturer Deploys Secure Badge Solution to Enhance Company Security | 0000-00-00 | Microsoft |
| Historically, Gemplus, the world's leading provider of smart card solutions, used passwords to authenticate system users internally.

Gemplus employees now access corporate systems by inserting a smart card and typing a four-digit PIN code. Because they no longer need to remember multiple passwords, calls to the helpdesk have been reduced and the IT department has realised significant operational savings. Centralised management over user profiles, e-mail systems, Web servers, Wifiand the Virtual Private Networks (VPN), greatly enhances security.
