This week, we announced that the world leading Danish Crown meat processing firm with more than 23,000 employees have standardized on SMS PASSCODE for secure employee remote access. At Danish Crown, the online threats drove a comprehensive security review including review of alternative methods of protection. This review resulted in the company choosing the SMS PASSCODE solution which has been recognized and awarded as a new generation of two-factor authentication solutions based on SMS. Briefly explained, SMS PASSCODE first authenticates user ID and password. Once validated, the system creates and sends in real-time a code only valid for that particular user log-in session.
“There are three primary reason for selecting SMS PASSCODE and not a more traditional token approach. First, we save about 30% alone on eliminating hardware purchases as all users today carry a mobile phone. Secondly, the administration burden of our approximately 1.750 users with SMS PASSOCDE is less than that of about 20 traditional token users. Thirdly, it is a very straight forward solution that fully cover our needs” says Soren Sloth, and explains that all employees in Danish Crown has been very positive and receptive to using the solution.
“They think it is brilliant, as they always carry the key to the network in their hand. This has increased the employee efficiency at Danish Crown considerably. It makes it much faster and easier to log on and get to work”
