Toronto-Area Police Secure Data and Meet CPIC Regulations With Aladdin eToken

Marketwired
Aladdin Knowledge Systems (NASDAQ: ALDN), an information security
leader specializing in authentication, software DRM and content
security, today announced that Durham Regional Police (DRP) in
Ontario, Canada chose the Aladdin eToken two-factor authentication
device to comply with Canadian Police Information Centre (CPIC)
regulations. DRP's deployment follows numerous other Canadian
police forces that also chose Aladdin eToken.
Durham Regional Police (DRP) serves 600,000 citizens within the
Durham Region in Ontario, east of Toronto. The police force was
named one of Canada's Top 100 Employers by Macleans in 2007 -- the
only police service on the list. The CPIC sets standards and
identifies tools to assist Canadian police in combating crime,
compiling information on crimes and criminals into one central
database available to all Canadian law enforcement agencies. As of
2009, CPIC requires that anyone accessing or altering data within
police force databases must use strong two-factor authentication to
verify their identity. By next year, 80 percent of DRP's employees
will be required to use two-factor authentication to access
sensitive information.
DRP chose Aladdin eToken for its combination of smartcard
authentication and encrypted flash memory, allowing DRP to comply
with CPIC regulations and providing the additional benefits of
Single-Sign-On, the Aladdin Token Management System (TMS) and the
ability to store multiple certificates on the token. The powerful
grouping of technology allows officers to access multiple important
systems using only one convenient, secure token.
"Aladdin helped us comply with critical CPIC regulations by the
mandatory April 1 deadline, and even provided us with extra
features," said Ken Bertrand, network security analyst at Durham
Regional Police. "We needed something that is easy for officers to
use, and that allows them to stay productive on the job. eToken
NG-FLASH provides Single Sign on (SSO), which consolidates each
user's numerous passwords into one, and stores multiple
certificates on the smartcard and sensitive data on the encrypted
flash memory."
"The Durham Regional Police is just one example of how Aladdin
eToken enables organizations to comply with government and industry
regulations, whether it's CPIC, PCI-DSS, HIIPA or any one of the
multitude of regulations requiring two-factor authentication to
access sensitive information," said Chen Arbel, vice president of
strategic development at Aladdin Knowledge Systems.
Arbel concluded, "Canada is ahead of the game when it comes to
government and law enforcement technological regulations, and the
United States is very close to instituting the same strong
authentication requirements for U.S. law enforcement officers.
Aladdin is already providing these solutions nationwide for some
early adopters."
