Challenge - Prioritizing 2FA to maximize security org-wide

Caljan is a logistics automation technology provider specializing in helping parcel carriers, retailers, and manufacturers around the globe handle loose cargo efficiently. In 2019 Caljan was acquired by a larger corporation and had to rebuild its IT infrastructure from scratch as part of the acquisition. One of the main cybersecurity projects that had to be prioritized in this extensive IT project was the implementation of a 2FA solution. To maximize login security for all its employees and prevent outside actors from accessing critical company data, logistics automation technology provider Caljan sought a 2FA solution that was both easy to use for employees, fast to implement, and required minimal administration from the IT department.

“We picked Uniqkey because they maximize our login security by making 2FA super easy to handle.”

Solution - Security Ease-of-use 2FA

2FA is considered one of the most effective ways of protecting an organization against security threats that target user credentials such as phishing, brute-forcing, and social engineering attacks, thus finding and implementing a 2FA solution across the entire organization was a low-hanging fruit in terms of security ROI that had utmost priority for Caljan.

"2FA is a low-hanging fruit when it comes to security return on investment so finding a solution that fits our organization's needs was on top of the priority list."

IT Manager, Caljan

Limited IT resources lead to high demands

But not any solution would suffice. Limited by budget and manpower, Kent Kirkegaard sought a solution that would require minimal administration to manage while offering an intuitive user experience for the end-user to ensure adoption. As an IT manager, Kent always tries to put himself in the shoes of the end-user when evaluating new software and tools.

"Everyone is busy. If a tool isn’t easy to use, nobody will use it. And so the usability of a solution plays a huge role in the final decision-making."

Simplicity is the key to security

To implement 2FA protection on its employees’ most used and thus most vulnerable services (their Microsoft 365 accounts), Caljan decided to use Uniqkey as their org-wide 2FA solution. With Uniqkey at hand, all Caljan employees have a simple tool to authenticate their logins safely and easily. To securely log on to services, employees simply request a login and then accept it on the Uniqkey app which then auto-fills all credentials and 2FA codes. In addition to the 2FA solution, Uniqkey also helps Caljan's employees adopt better password hygiene via its user-friendly password management solution that securely stores and remembers employees’ passwords, lets users create and use high-strength passwords with its integrated password generator, and enables simple and secure password sharing between individuals and departments. Combined, Uniqkey provides simple and effective solutions to an array of Caljan’s critical cybersecurity challenges. All delivered in one tool.

The result - 2FA is now effortless for Caljan's employees, maximizing login security org-wide

By using Uniqkey, Caljan has managed to maximize security levels across their entire organization by making 2FA protection effortless to handle for the end-user. 2FA adds friction to an employee’s login flow but with Uniqkey, the process is now automatic and effortless. Because of the intuitive nature of the Uniqkey user experience, the implementation time has been fast, employee pushback minimal, and admin oversight next to none. With its “bonus” password management features, Caljan has also solved future password-related problems. Today Caljan’s IT department works more efficiently as they’re able to safely share logins between key individuals. Managing dozens of separate IT systems, this has had a measurable positive impact on their overall workflow.

Password management as bonus value

Furthermore, before Uniqkey, employees stored their passwords in various browsers. Today they have an easy and secure way to store their passwords as well as upgrade their password security.

Three reasons why Van Gogh Museum chose Uniqkey: Easy, effortless and minimal admin work.

  1. Easy to use in a busy day. Uniqkey is first and foremost incredibly easy to use. This is a huge advantage, as any complexity of a tool will hinder user adoption. By being simple to use, employees willingly adopt the tool as part of their daily workflow, increasing the organization's cybersecurity in the process.
  2. Makes 2FA adoption effortless. 2FA is inherently time-consuming as it adds extra steps to a user's login flow. By automating the entering of 2FA codes, and simply requiring the user to authorize the login on their phone, 2FA is made frictionless, which strengthens the adoption of the security system.
  3. Requires minimal administration. Because of its intuitive and self-serving design, Uniqkey requires little administration. This has been crucial for Caljan's IT department as limited resources force them to be as efficient in their job as possible. Uniqkey's centralized access management platform also makes employee access delegation simple and effective.
