Where to use Hypergate
Banking, Financial services
We have many different financial customers all over the globe with different use cases. In the video we show an interesting use case, done for a private bank.
Health Care
Due to actual times the Healthcare Industry is a fast changing and enhancing industry. Hypergate can help to increase efficiency and mobility while keeping highest security standards.
Retail
Time is a rare good in retail so blockers that interrupt the workflow must get optimized.
Governmental Institutions
Hypergate finds use in many governmental institutions, one of which is the Court of Auditors of the European Union.
Law Firm
We work with various globa law firms. They like our solution due to the fact, that we offer both, usability and high security.
Defence and aerospace company
Multinational Defence and aerospace company.
The Customer
Multinational Defence and aerospace company. Similar to government organisations, it is essential for defence companies to deliver easy and secure access to information, given that they are handling sensitive documentation.
In addition, they have a large and complex workforce that can have multiple projects running. So any solution needs to be able to cope with that environment.
The Issue
The company wanted to deliver a BYOD strategy with the new Android Enterprise in their existing mobility environment. To allow this to happen, they needed to deliver the same user experience and security that the iOS users had. With Android Enterprise’s lack of Kerberos integration, they were not able to continue to use certificate-based authentication.
The Solution
Hypergate Authenticator for Android met this requirement perfectly. As it is an Active Directory client that is installed on the managed mobile device, it is able to deliver the certificate-based seamless single sign-on that the Android users require.
In addition, given the regulations of the defence sector, they wanted to be in control of the whole authentication process and as Hypergate is an on-premise solution with no public-facing part, it met that requirement without any challenges.
Success Story: Jefferies
Jefferies is listed Fortune 500 financial services organization located in the U.S. They use the Hypergate Authenticator for Android to provide seamless access to company resources. 85% of their work devices are employee-owned (BYOD).
Hypergate Authenticator allows Jefferies to support a hybrid cloud environment and ensure that the user experience is seamless; employees can use the native Google Chrome app on Android to securely access internal websites wherever they are in the world.
Investment bank Jefferies mobilizes teams with Android and Hypergate
Android recently showcased how banks around the world are using Android to work more productively, while maintaining the rigorous security standards required in the financial services industry. One use case where Android helped enable remote working was for personal “Bring Your Own” devices (BYOD).
At Jefferies, an investment bank based in New York City, 85 percent of their work devices are employee-owned. It’s essential that bankers are able to access corporate apps and data on the go, and the Android work profile has been key to enabling the Android BYODs across the organization.
Jefferies has evolved its mobile strategy to focus on empowering employees to be able to access and use essential internal resources and web apps, and connect in real-time with rich collaboration services. This requirement was critical as senior bankers frequently travel yet still require access to in-house finance systems while away from the office. Transitioning to Android Enterprise enabled the BYOD fleet with single sign-on (SSO) to secure access to corporate resources and achieve a high level of employee efficiency.
Android Enterprise’s work profile allowed Jefferies to enable and connect their global workforce through a BYOD program. “The Android work profile means we can provide secure access to corporate data and apps for the large number of our employees who use their personal devices at work,” says Mittul Mehta, vice president, platform security engineering at Jefferies.
Being able to offer a BYOD strategy has given employees flexibility and choice, and for Jefferies has helped increase user adoption and reduced the training demands on the IT department. IT has seen further efficiencies from a quicker onboarding process (requiring only minutes to set up the device), to fewer tickets submitted by users.
Jefferies uses the managed Google Play store to distribute both web and native apps to its employees. When it comes to accessing legacy apps, Android Enterprise works alongside a solution from Hypergate that provides on-premise SSO authentication to Jefferies’ Windows authentication infrastructure. This allows Jefferies to support a hybrid cloud environment and ensure that the user experience is seamless; employees can use the native Google Chrome app on Android to securely access internal websites wherever they are in the world.
Jefferies’ success with Android has been demonstrable. “[Users are now able to] complete their work on their phone in a fast, effective and secure way,” Mehta says, “while getting reassurance that the work profile data separation means that their personal data stays private.” You can learn more about how Android benefits your organization’s employees at the Android for employees website.
