One of the world's largest banks

More and more financial institutes are looking for a flexible and relatively easy way to deploy solutions that speed up and improve their access control processes. The Axiomatics Policy Server (APS) and the Axiomatics Policy Auditor (APA) are now being used by one of the world’s largest banks to achieve this. The combined solution provides them with significant efficiency gains in term of faster deployment of new services while strengthening their internal controls for regulatory compliance.

”With Attribute Based Access Control (ABAC) based on the XACML standard, they get a dynamic system that allows them secure compliance with regulations and corporate policies integrated with their existing platform,” says Babak Sadighi, CEO Axiomatics.

PayPal

In what is the world’s largest XACML deployment to date, Axiomatics provided PayPal with a complete access management solution which includes the Axiomatics Policy Server (APS), the Axiomatics Policy Auditor (APA) and Axiomatics policy modeling know-how in the form of professional services. This solution can effectively handle 5,000 different security policies and hundreds of millions of authorization evaluations per day.

“At PayPal our customers rely on our ability to ensure that payment procedures are secure at all times,” said Michael Barrett PayPal’s chief information security officer. “Attribute Based Access Control will provide us with the security we require to maintain the high-level of security our customer s expect from PayPal.”

Bell Helicopter

Information security is imperative at Bell Helicopter, which is on the forefront of military and commercial aircraft design. Axiomaticssupplied a system that ensures the availability of essential information to authorized users and ensures strict confidentiality requirements are enforced, blocking unauthorized access to business critical information assets.

“We wanted to be independent of vendor specific and proprietary technology which is why we made the decision early on to base our solution on the XACML standard,” says Mr. Isbell, PLM Program Manager at Bell Helicopter Textron Inc. “After conducting a thorough evaluation of the solutions on the market, we found that for our needs, Axiomatics has the most comprehensive XACML product available.”

Swedish National Health Service

The National Health Service provides medical services to the entire Swedish population. All the members of the Swedish Association of Local Authorities and Regions (SALAR), representing governmental, professional and employer related interests of Sweden's municipalities, county councils and regions, are the future end-users in what probably represents the world’s largest XACML project. Axiomatics has delivered access control for a system that provides policy-based online access to health records exchanged between different care providers. The system ensures regulatory compliance in complex authorization decisions needed to secure privacy when patient data is exchanged between different parties. The new information service complies with all necessary legislation, which, much like HIPAA in the US, regulates patient data privacy.

SOS Alarm

SOS Alarm handles emergency call services and co-ordinates rescue activities throughout Sweden. The organization’s new IT portal enables health care workers to order and track emergency services such as ambulances and other vehicles. The Axiomatics Policy Server helps ensure authorized users get the services they need quickly and smoothly, while unauthorized use is blocked. Commenting on the system, technical manager at SOS Alarm, Per Palm said, “The new e-services platform is a milestone for SOS Alarm. Now we can offer all our clients and partners new methods to communicate with us."
