SICIM<\/a> is a world leader in the engineering and construction of pipelines, pumping stations, industrial buildings and other facilities for the oil and gas sector<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

We started using Protectimus products in 2021. At the moment, my assessment of the company’s work is 10 out of 10. An important factor in choosing this two-factor authentication provider was the possibility of customizing the 2FA system for our project. We needed to secure two systems (Roundcube + Fortigate VPN Client) with one physical 2FA token for each user. After we got in touch with the Protectimus team and explained the task, they implemented the necessary functionality for us free of charge. They also helped us to integrate and set up the two-factor system the way we wanted. There were no problems or failures with the hardware tokens or the backend part so far. Everything works well.<\/em><\/p>\n

Key tasks for implementing 2FA for SICIM<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SICIM uses the Protectimus 2-Factor Authentication (2FA) solution to secure access to corporate accounts when users log in using VPN. Also, SICIM uses two-factor authentication to protect access to the employees’ corporate email boxes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was important for SICIM to find a two-factor authentication provider who is ready to help with the 2FA integration and, if necessary, will customize the 2FA system to respond to the individual requirements of SICIM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Customization of Protectimus two-factor authentication products to the requirements of our clients is one of our profiles, so we made our best to meet SICIM’s interests and added the necessary functionality to the Protectimus Cloud 2FA Service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s discuss the project for the implementation of two-factor authentication for SICIM in more detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SICIM wanted to solve several challenges with 2FA<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
    \n
  1. To protect access to corporate resources when users connect via VPN.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. To protect access to the employees’ Roundcube webmail accounts with 2FA.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. To connect hardware two-factor authentication tokens.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. To set up a two-factor authentication system so that employees can use the same hardware 2FA token both to log into their email and connect to the corporate account via VPN.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    The following Protectimus 2FA products were chosen to solve the above mentioned tasks<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
