COVER STORY
“And then suddenly people’s salaries
don't end up in their own bank
account, they end up in a fraudster’s
bank account. Fairless turned to OneLogin for a
solution, won over by the ease of use
and partnership approach the vendor
was able to offer.
“So the need to be able to protect those
accounts is crucial and it's been a need
that we've been able to see for a year or
two, but we can increasingly see it as a
need as we go forward.” The second factor now used by
Tesco employees is a mobile phone –
something which employees ‘have’ and
much harder for attackers to access.
The solution
Enterprises are now required to have
a second factor of authentication in
place as username and password
information – something you ‘know’
– are increasingly easy to pass on to
attackers, even if only accidentally.

The solution protects against
unauthorised access to critical corporate
data while cutting management time and
costs for the business.
Why OneLogin?
“We trawled quite a wide net through the
market,” said Fairless. “We ended up
looking at eight solutions and got down
to a shortlist of three.
“OneLogin wasn’t the biggest or the
most established – they were quite a
new player in the market. But the thing
that really made them come through
was user experience and that’s from two
different angles.
“It was very important to us that if we
were going to ask 450,000 people to
use this thing – many of whom are
not what we would describe as digital
natives – we wanted it to be an easy
experience for them and we wanted
it to be intuitive.” Equally important,
he said, was a solution that would be
intuitive for administrators.
