[February 11, 2009] York Regional Police selects Aladdin eToken two-factor authentication Tweet Feb 11, 2009 (Datamonitor via COMTEX) -- The York Regional Police has selected the Aladdin eToken two-factor authentication solution to comply with the national Canadian Police Information Centre regulations. The York Regional Police has deployed 2,000 Aladdin eToken PRO USB-based smartcard devices to its officers and civilian employees, enabling them to access and update the Canadian Police Information Centre (CPIC) database. Officers plug the token into a USB port, enter their password, and are able to access critical information. Remote employees use Aladdin eToken one-time password tokens for increased security for members accessing York's network remotely. In order to maximize value at YRP, Aladdin's partner, NCI, created a customized solution, fully integrating eToken and token management system with York's existing infrastructure to minimize costs and ensure that all components of the system are fully interoperable. Nick Mohamed, assistant IT manager at York Regional Police, said: "Aladdin provided us a simple way to meet the CPIC requirements for strong authentication without taking up our officers' valuable time. Together with our solution partner NCI, Aladdin's staff was able to quickly integrate Aladdin eToken into our existing infrastructure so that the officers can access the information they need to do their jobs and keep people and our data as safe as possible." http://www.datamonitor.com Republication or redistribution, including by framing or similar means, is expressly prohibited without prior written consent.
