Associated Banc-Corp is a progressive corporation that maximizes the use of technology to achieve its business goals. Empowering its employees to perform their tasks required implementation of remote access technology to allow those employees to access corporate networks and associated data remotely. As the number of users with remote access privileges increased, IT and information security staff recognized the need for a strong authentication solution to positively identify the remote users.

After comparing several different software- and hardware-based solutions (including biometrics), reviewing industry-trusted research reports (such as Gartner), and talking to existing customers and technical staff of various other vendors, Associated Banc-Corp selected SafeWord for Citrix® to meet their needs.
