“The casino business is like a bank and we seek to ensure a superior level of security and the integrity of our systems… DetectIT and RSA SecurID are unique solutions that are unrivalled in the market today and this is why we chose them," comments the Group Information Services Manager for leading casino business.

Their IT applications are based around the IBM System-i, safeguarded by DetectIT.
"The gaming board's role is significant in ensuring regulatory policies are conformed to within the industry. Security is one of the areas which is important in the gaming boards policies and also covers the area of remote access," explains the Group Information Services Manager. "In order to fulfill this requirement and maintain the high standard of our operations, we concluded that a more rigorous security module was required in this area: a system that employed a higher level of user interrogation. We were pleased to find DetectIT, a ready packaged solution, easily met our requirements.
"In addition, RSA SecurID provides an easy and convenient strong 2-factor authentication solution that positively identifies network and systems users to prevent unauthorised access.
