SecurEnvoy provides an extra layer of security for Finning remote workers 
(11/06/2009)
Finning (UK), a division of Finning International Inc. the world’s largest distributor of Caterpillar equipment and power systems, has turned to SecurEnvoy to provide an extra layer of security for its remote workers.
Finning UK has signed a deal with SecurEnvoy to implement SecurAccess, which replaces its previous token system for remote working. SecurAccess provides employees with ‘virtual tokens’ – passcodes sent to their mobile phones – which are entered alongside usual login details, to access networks and emails from remote locations safely.
Karl McCormack, infrastructure manager at Finning UK said: “Our previous system using hardware tokens had many problems – they are expensive, easy to lose or break and are not at all user friendly. SecurAccess has provided the perfect solution to a complex problem facing IT security.”
“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 option.”
