HELSINKI, FINLAND and WELLESLEY, Mass. - February 21, 2011, 2011-02-21 08:00
CET (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ANDRITZ AG, an Austria-based global supplier of
customized plant and power systems for heavy industry, has decided to use
Tectia MobileID, a highly scalable two-factor authentication solution for
authenticating the company's employees. 

Fastest to deploy and easiest to use, Tectia MobileID makes use of the end
user's mobile phone as an authentication device to provide a high level of
security for user access to enterprise services. The solution will be deployed
globally, providing more than 14,000 employees with secure remote access to
ANDRITZ corporate IT services inside the company network. 

Mr. Matthew McKenna Senior VP for Global Channel Operations of Tectia,
commended ANDRITZ for the decision to implement a best-in-class solution that
would accommodate the scale of its global operations. 'Companies such as
ANDRITZ understand that with its one-time passwords sent to devices that users
already have, Tectia MobileID reduces the cost and increases the security of
remote access for all stakeholders. Furthermore, since no additional hardware
is needed, they were able to benefit from a flexible and scalable
implementation provided on a subscription basis,' he added. 

Mr. Juhani Eronen, Manager, Networks of ANDRITZ Oy's IT Infrastructure unit in
Finland said that he was pleased with the cooperation with Tectia. He added
that Tectia Solutions were the ideal choice for a company operating globally,
facing many challenges in providing secure user access due to diverse
conditions in different geographical locations. 'We have subsidiaries and other
stakeholders in Europe, North America, Asia and South America. It's therefore
difficult to implement a cost-effective and easy-to-use solution in such varied
locations. Tectia MobileID allowed us to strengthen our authentication
procedures globally, using a solution that has been very easy for users to
adopt,' he explained.
