AMD Offers Distributors Secure Risk-Based Single Sign-On to Enterprise Portals, Thereby Sharpening Its Competitive Edge

AMD designs and produces innovative microprocessor and graphics and media solutions. It is focused on best meeting the needs of leading computing, wireless and consumer electronics companies to help them deliver high-performance, energy-efficient and visually realistic solutions. The challenge was to speed up the time it takes to approve external distributors for secure online access to critical information such as sales orders and invoices and to deploy a strong authentication solution that eliminates deployment logistics of hardware tokens but still offers a higher level of security than a user name and password, balancing strong authentication with user convenience. AMD deployed integrated RSA Access Manager and RSA Adaptive Authentication solution for single sign-on to web applications, with authentication granted on risk analysis.
