CHICAGO, December 11, 2007 - Aladdin Knowledge
Systems Ltd.
(NASDAQ:
ALDN), an information security leader specializing
in authentication, software DRM and content security, today announced that Continental
Airlines implemented the Aladdin eToken strong authentication solution to assist
them in meeting the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) - a major,
industry-defined set of rules that regulate cardholder data handling and transaction
processing.
-
Aimed at adding higher levels of security for cardholder data, PCI DSS outlines
the need for strong access controls for data, coupled with traditional security
technologies already in use by many merchants. More than 1,000 Aladdin eToken devices
were distributed to Continental Airlines' employees and business partners enabling
remote access to the network using two factor authentication. Aladdin eToken allows
Continental's partners to gain access anytime by using the portable, clientless
eToken device to create a one-time password.
-
"Prioritizing the security of our network, Continental looks to technologies such
as Aladdin eToken to meet important IT security guidelines," said Andrew Dana, Continental
Airlines' IT Security Manager. "Aladdin's fast implementation, excellent support,
and cost-effective technology came together to bring us a solution we can trust."
-
"Aladdin eToken repeatedly proves to be a solid answer to the PCI DSS requirements
that so many merchants face," said Chen Arbel, vice president of strategic development
for Aladdin Knowledge Systems. "Continental Airlines' selection of eToken as a component
of their IT security compliance is a clear illustration of eToken's reliability
and simple integration, providing secure access to networks that customers trust
will be safe. We're pleased to announce Continental as one of our latest Aladdin
eToken customers."
