York Regional Police uses Hypergate for an increased user experience and secure work environment
York Regional Police members are honoured to serve one of the most diverse and fastest-growing communities in Canada, patrolling areas ranging from serene rural landscapes to urban cityscapes, and ensuring the safety and security of residents who identify with more than 200 ethnic origins, practice more than 10 different religions and speak more than 16 unique languages.
Within a highly mobile work environment, both sworn officers and civilian members are using Android phones for their daily work. York Regional Police members need to access work related applications in a secure, but still user-friendly way.
The solution
Android Enterprise doesn’t support Kerberos Authentication natively, so therefore enablement of Single Sign-On with a local active directory previously was not possible. Hypergate Authenticator solves those issues and enables Single Sign-On for all work related applications.
In a highly mobile and security-oriented environment a key requirement is secure and fast user authentication. Using Hypergate Authenticator as the go-to solution for everyday operations York Regional Police is able to achieve that.
Benefits
- Greatly reduced support due to Single Sign-On
- Increased operational security through Kerberos authentication
- Increased user experience and convenience
«Hypergate is easy to install and configure, and it seamlessly integrates into our existing MobileIron MDM environment»
