NESTLE USA SplashID™ Tested in the Secure Enterprise Nestl� USA is a part of Switzerland's Nestl� S.A. – the world's largest food company with a focus on nutrition, health and wellness. In 2009, Nestl� USA reported $10.4 billion in sales and nearly 25,000 employees nationwide in 25 manufacturing facilities, 24 distribution centers, and 15 sales offices across the country. Nestl� USA's Purina PetCare division has launched a pilot of SplashID Enterprise in its Information Systems group. Chris Aynesworth from the Information Systems group's offices in Denver, Colorado answers questions about the SplashID deployment: - What IT needs led you to choose SplashID? Chris: "We needed to have a central location to store IDs and passwords so that different employees could access them from a PC or a BlackBerry. We had been using a different product and had problems with database corruption, so we decided to give SplashID a try." - How have you set up SplashID? Chris: "We are using the Enterprise version as a part of a pilot. We have a SplashID Enterprise Server and MySQL installed on a workstation class PC. We have the SplashID Enterprise client installed on different user PCs as well as the BlackBerry client installed on a number of devices." - What do you like about the SplashID solution?
Chris: "So far I like the reliability and the configurability.
We like the fact that in the future we will be able to sync the SplashID
Enterprise Server with our BlackBerries."
UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN-MADISON'S DEPARTMENT OF FAMILY
MEDICINE SplashID™ in Higher Education and Advanced Health Care In achievement and prestige, the University of Wisconsin–Madison has long been recognized as one of America's great universities. A public, land-grant institution, UW–Madison offers a complete spectrum of liberal arts studies, professional programs and student activities. The university enrolls over 42,000 students in 135 undergraduate majors and 151 master's and 107 doctoral degree programs. Part of UW-Madison's School of Medicine and Public Health, the Department of Family Medicine has been ranked by US News and World Report as one of the five best family medicine departments in the country. UW's Department of Family Health has a strong track record of leveraging technology to improve the quality of its care and foster openness and innovation in its community. As part of this effort, the Department of Family Health deployed SplashID on PDA's and smartphones to assist its resident physicians. According to Chester Small at the Department of Family Health's ITS team, residents are using SplashID to manage their usernames and passwords for different systems as well as store passcodes for entry to facilities. "We needed a secure application that was easy to understand," said Small. In early 2008, SplashData and UW-Wisconsin cooperated on a pilot program to test the benefits of a SplashID solution. The pilot included specific customizations requested by the Department of Family Health's IT team. Based on the success of the pilot, the program was later expanded to include more users and additional types of mobile devices. Other universities that have purchased volume licenses of SplashID include University of California, University of Florida, Texas A&M, Carleton College, and Johns Hopkins University. ________________________________________________________________________________
NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF STANDARDS AND TECHNOLOGY
SplashID™ in Government From automated teller machines and atomic clocks to mammograms and semiconductors, innumerable products and services rely in some way on technology, measurement, and standards provided by the National Institute of Standards and Technology. Founded in 1901, NIST is a non-regulatory federal agency within the U.S. Department of Commerce. NIST's mission is to promote U.S. innovation and industrial competitiveness by advancing measurement science, standards, and technology in ways that enhance economic security and improve our quality of life. NIST purchased a volume license of SplashID for Windows. According to NIST's Melanie Shifflett, compliance with NIST's high standards of security required 12-character passwords. NIST staff needed a way of organizing these passwords and protecting them using government-approved encryption algorithms. Security walks also showed some passwords were left unsecured. SplashID has helped solve these problems by providing NIST staff with a convenient means of storing and protecting passwords on PC's and removable USB drives. ________________________________________________________________________________
LAWRENCE LIVERMORE NATIONAL LABORATORY Giving Employees an Option to Improve Password Security At Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), teams of physicists, chemists, biologists, engineers and other researchers work together to achieve technical innovations and scientific breakthroughs and transform these advances into solutions to nationally important problems. LLNL continually pushes the frontiers of knowledge to build the scientific and technological foundation that will be needed to address the national security issues of the future. Starting in 2004, LLNL and SplashData have cooperated to enable LLNL staff to purchase SplashID at a discount negotiated centrally by LLNL's purchasing department. The agreement makes it easier for LLNL employees to order SplashID, saves money through the negotiated discount, and improves password security in LLNL facilities. ________________________________________________________________________________
