ADAC

Initial situation:

Due to increased security requirements as well as internal and external specifications for the operation of various applications, the introduction of two-factor authentication (2FA) became mandatory in the company. The aim was to effectively secure access to critical systems while reliably meeting compliance requirements.

The search for the right solution

As part of a comprehensive internet search, the company was looking for a 2FA solution that could be used independently of private cell phones (BYOD). A classic hardware token was out of the question, as was an app-based solution on smartphones. They were looking for a device that could reliably process QR codes and was easy to use.

Decision in favor of the REINER SCT Authenticator

The REINER SCT Authenticator impressed with its ability to process QR codes in a similar way to standard smartphone apps. At the same time, the use of the device eliminated the need to integrate private or business mobile devices into the security concept. The Authenticator was also an attractive solution in economic terms, as it was significantly cheaper than comparable alternatives.

Areas of application

The Authenticator is used to secure various applications within the company. The solution is used across all systems and thus offers uniform and secure access to the relevant systems.

Introduction and implementation

The introduction of the Authenticator went smoothly. The employees were able to use the device without any problems after a short briefing. The support effort was minimal, as the device is intuitive to use. The few questions that arose were quickly answered by consulting the manufacturer's instructions.

Challenges

There were no significant challenges during the entire implementation process. The only requirement was to familiarize oneself with the operating instructions in order to carry out commissioning efficiently.

Conclusion

The company is extremely satisfied with the introduction of the REINER SCT Authenticator. The device offers a simple, secure and economical option for two-factor authentication without having to rely on employees' private end devices. The combination of functionality, user-friendliness and cost savings makes the Authenticator an ideal solution for day-to-day business.
