Customer Testimonials
Across the globe, customers voiced resounding confidence in RSA
Security technology:
Specifically, in North America, Alaska USA Federal Credit Union, one of
the nation's top 25 credit unions, selected RSA Cyota(R) FraudAction(TM)
anti-phishing and anti-pharming service to help protect its members from
online fraud. "RSA Security is earning a reputation for providing timely
and targeted anti-fraud services to the financial industry," remarked John
Shipe, Alaska USA's chief information officer. "RSA Cyota FraudAction
service represents an important layer in Alaska USA's comprehensive
approach to preventing, identifying, and disrupting the activities that put
members and the credit union at financial risk."
In the Asia-Pacific region, New Zealand Police, the national agency
responsible for public safety in New Zealand, chose RSA SecurID(R)
two-factor authentication to provide secure remote access to computer
terminals installed in patrol cars. "Ensuring the security of our data
communications is a top priority and the 'car as police station' project is
the most far-reaching of our top ten technology initiatives," said Lyn
Provost, deputy commissioner. "The terminals will provide authorized
frontline police officers with secure remote access for background checks
on people and their vehicles without having to radio back to base for
information. This will speed officers' access to the most current
information, reduce traffic on radio channels and free communications staff
from handling routine inquiries. Following an initial implementation, New
Zealand Police will progressively implement vehicle terminals throughout
the national fleet."
In addition, Credit Union Central of Ontario, a leading credit union in
Canada, reinforced its commitment to RSA Security's web access management
technology. "Credit Union Central of Ontario and RSA Security continue a
strong five-year partnership, in which RSA ClearTrust(R) web access
management technology remains a key security building block used in the
provisioning of secure access to Central's web portal, which is used by 170
member credit unions, and serves more than 1.2 million Ontarians," said
Paul Martinello, director, System Development, Credit Union Central of
Ontario. "We have recently made an additional investment in RSA ClearTrust
technology to keep up with the expanded use of our portal. RSA ClearTrust
technology helps our users increase their efficiency as they need to login
only once to access all applications and data, and perform financial
transactions."
