Arlington VA (PRWEB) June 7, 2005 -- Protecting access to workstations and
networks is vital to the protection of company assets in today’s corporate
environment. To meet that need, SCB Solutions, Inc. has joined HID Corporation’s
iCLASS Development Partner Program.
SCB Solutions, Inc. offers SCB
Access™ as an affordable solution for Secure Logon and Single Sign-On
applications. A user can access a PC or an application by inserting a smart card
and a PIN code. With SCB Access™, user names and passwords are securely
encrypted and stored on a smart card. User names and passwords are then
submitted automatically to the appropriate applications. Users need to remember
only one password to unlock their smart card.
Physical and logical
access are converging into identification security programs that reduce the need
for separate and conflicting process in the issuance, infrastructure and
management of employee ID. The HID iCLASS platform helps to bring about more
integrated ID and authentication programs.
“HID Corporation is a world
class provider of secure physical access control technology,” said Rod Donnelly,
SCB Solutions’ VP of Sales. “SCB Access™ logical access applications on the
iCLASS card reduce cost and infrastructure requirements, while increasing the
efficiency of corporate and IT security programs. SCB Access™ and iCLASS
together is the smart choice in access control.”
“We’re proud to work
with SCB Solutions as an iCLASS development partner,” said Dovell Bonnett, HID’s
Director of Partners and Alliances. Increasing the adoption of logical access
through cost-effective products with multiple layers of security offers physical
access control users more opportunities to leverage their existing deployment of
contactless smart cards.”
Using an existing employee credential to serve
as an ID badge, physical access control credential, and PC / network access
control credential is cost-effective and efficient.
