Case Study: Kawasaki Thermal Engineering improves mobile worker security and productivity with Crossmatch DigitalPersona MFA

Kawasaki Thermal Engineering - Customer Case Study

Kawasaki Thermal Engineering Co., Ltd. needed a more secure and convenient way for mobile sales managers and engineers to access its corporate network and applications. The company had been using a USB key and PIN, but employees often forgot or lost the keys, creating extra support calls for IT. It also needed a solution that worked well with Microsoft Active Directory.

Kawasaki Thermal Engineering selected Crossmatch DigitalPersona MFA software to replace the USB keys and use the fingerprint readers already built into laptops. Crossmatch provided proof-of-presence authentication that employees could use with a touch of a finger, while IT could manage credentials remotely across 18 offices in Japan. The company reported that calls to the IT Department for lost or forgotten USB keys were eliminated, and employee productivity improved, especially for mobile workers.
