Case Study: a leading IT consulting agency achieves passwordless smart card authentication with SecureW2

IT Consulting Agency Tests Smart Card Deployment with SecureW2

A leading IT consulting agency sought to test and implement a passwordless, certificate-based authentication solution to enhance its own network security and vet the technology for future client recommendations. Their challenge was to effectively deploy YubiKey smart cards and manage certificates across unmanaged employee devices, particularly overcoming the difficulty of using smart cards to log into Mac devices. They partnered with SecureW2 to utilize its Smart Card Management System, Cloud RADIUS, and PKI services.

SecureW2 provided a full suite of solutions, including custom backend support to enable YubiKey login on Macs and the JoinNow MultiOS platform for seamless, self-service certificate enrollment on any device. The agency successfully deployed the entire system within three weeks, enabling all employees to enjoy simple, secure, passwordless logins. As a result of the successful test, the agency confirmed it would confidently recommend SecureW2's products to its own customers.
