Background
A Singapore-based bank, one of the largest banks in Southeast Asia, wants to upgrade and consolidate the administration of global users and systems access to comply to Base I, II and ISO 17799.

Issues
The bank holds large amount of private and confidential customer and financial data. Databases, application servers and file servers are all potential information leakage points if user access is not tightly controlled.

Challenges
The bank's large number of disparate systems, ranging from customer banking to investment banking, requires a central system that provides connectors to talk to the current critical bank applications.

And as one of the largest banks in Southeast Asia, the number of users to be managed is daunting if security policies and access rights are manually administered.

Objectives / Goals

1. Ease of central user identity maintenance to uphold the strictest information access within the corporate
   
2. Central system that can integrate with all major systems in the bank
   
3. Support global users from Singapore and Malaysia, and other countries in the future

Resolvo's Key Successes
Resolvo identified the following components within the framework as the driving factors to the right solution to meet the bank's objectives:

Deterrence
Encryption
Forensics
Identity Management

The most significant benefit of our solution is that user access to the critical systems are now automatically monitored and synchronized by Sun's Identity Management System software.

This centralized management significantly reduces the risks of unauthorized access to production data. The automation and synchronization also ensures that the bank's critical data is protected against leakage by any staff right from the start when the staff joins the bank.

Background
World's largest international multimedia news agency has recently opened a new Research and Development Centre in Beijing, China. This branch is expected to expand quickly to accommodate 1200 users.

Issues
End-point security becomes a grave concern as precious research data, source codes and intellectual property are the core of the institution's market competitiveness.

Challenges
Staff need to work from remote and home, and the need for remote access to corporate network and applications is mandatory for mobile staff who move across regions frequently.

Objectives / Goals

1. Improve security of end-user terminals
   
2. Support existing secure network infrastructure
   
3. Provide secure remote access to home and mobile users
   
4. Integrate with existing Windows-based and Unix-based network services

Resolvo's Key Successes
Resolvo identified the following components within the framework as the basis for building a flexible desktop infrastructure that can meet the institution's objectives:

Deterrence
Encryption
Identity Management
Thin Client

The most significant benefit of our solution is that the institution has eliminated the risk of information leakage via end-point device by implementing thin client desktops for their staff in office and at home.

The usage of USB drives, CD/DVD writers and other external storage devices is tightly controlled and restricted. In addition, with zero local storage on thin client, there is no information leakage concern if a thin client unit is lost or stolen.
