Shanghai Automotive Brake Systems Co., Ltd. (SABS)

Staff on business trips or vacation needed remote access to Shanghai Automotive Brake Systems Co., Ltd. (SABS)'s critical applications—an activity not permitted by the existing security system. SABS chose to implement VeriSign® Unified Authentication and today, many employees have been given one-time password (OTP) tokens and can access SABS' SAP R/3 enterprise resource planning system, as well as the company’s intranet when they are away from the office.
