NISSAN Europe Implements IDEALX Open Trust™ to Enhance the Security of its Infrastructure |
Leading Automaker Manages 10,000 Digital Identities For Sensitive Applications
IDEALX, the designer and developer of added value software solutions, today announced that Nissan Europe has chosen to implement its OpenTrust software, as part of a global security solution, to meet its security needs and to manage some 10.000 digital identities and access rights on its networks. As a member of the Renault-Nissan alliance, the world’s fourth largest automaker, Nissan Europe will deploy IDX-PKI, the open source Public Key Infrastructure.
Having previously deployed an enterprise-wide physical access card system based on Card Management System capabilities, Nissan Europe has now selected IDEALX Open Source PKI to combine interoperable technologies and complement their existing Single-Sign-On (SSO) and One-Time Password (OTP) systems.
In addition to the significant economic benefits, adopting OpenTrust™ will give Nissan Europe a reliable, well-tested, and scalable infrastructure, able to evolve in a mixed technical environment. Idealx has already deployed IDX-PKI in numerous complex IS environments and has demonstrated its expertise in ActivIdentity integration.
The IDX-PKI software will provide Nissan Europe with the following benefits:
- Short-term deployment of the Windows Smart Card, based on the IDX- PKI certificates
- Providing strong authentication for sensitive applications
IDEALX'’s global offer of OpenTrust™ software and associated professional services will be quickly implemented. Deployment will begin at the end of the year and will continue throughout Europe during the first part of 2007.
“Nissan Europe was looking for a flexible PKI solution with fast ROI that was capable of being integrated into a rapidly expanding environment,” said Nissan Europe’s IT & Security Officer, Graham Orton. “IDEALX’s IDX-PKI solution was selected because it was the only solution on today’s market that met all of Nissan Europe’s current requirements while, simultaneously, allowing for the planning of future business needs”.
“I am enthusiastic about Nissan Europe’s decision to adopt the OpenTrust™ solution. It is joining a growing number of international companies who have adopted OpenTrust™,” enthused IDEALX’s CEO, Oliver Guilbert. “This confirms the competitive positioning of the OpenTrust™ software and the professionalism of our services. IDEALX will continue to establish its comprehensive product range internationally.” |
