Problem being addressed:
- Dealing with secured information and transactions demanded a higher security then a fixed password. Being a visible web site to thousands of customers made it susceptible to hacker attacks of the distributors areas.
Benefits:
- After checking the available solutions in the market the CAT soft token was selected as the optimal performing option. The main reasons were:
- Easy deployment. The CAT Tokens are downloaded and installed OTA (over the air). The distributors found it easy to use and they have been using it on Cellulars, Pocket PCs and the Windows version.
- No major changes. The existing web site did not require any major changes in order to apply the CAT OTP TFA Strong Authentication. Using the CAT eAuthentication technique, the PHP was able to communicate easily (using an API) with the CAT Authentication Server.
- Immediate response. The projected costs of the TFA project were minimal. No special investment and no delays in the activation of distributors. Once the pages where made available, all the distributors had access to the CAT Token, they could register and login. There were no delays due to deployment of hardware tokens.
- Affordable. No Token costs and no hidden costs
- Extended security. The CAT Token is PIN secured.
Problem being addressed:
- At the beginning of 2006 we had a history of problems with the implementation of hard tokens. In addition, we had a requirement to increase the number of used tokens which proved to be an expensive venture taking into account the number of hardware tokens and the cost of a token.
- With these concerns we started looking for alternatives.
Benefits:
- CAT was the final decision. We had immediate benefits and a paradigm shift. We could now plan for a wider deployment of strong authentication.

Problem being addressed:
- Our sales force is distributed across the country where each sales person has a responsibility to a specific area and/or group of clients.
Dealing with highly secure information and systems with PCIDSS requirements, the regular fixed access was not enough. We were looking for a secure, affordable and easy to use 2 Factor Authentication Solution.
Benefits:
- Much easier to manage.
- The token is downloaded from the Internet so easy to distribute to our users
- Life time cost of CAT is lower than other products
