Fiberlink Mobilizes Thousands of Employees for Henkel

BLUE BELL, Pa., Dec. 20, 2007 - Fiberlink Communications Corporation, the trusted expert for secure mobile computing, has provided Henkel, a consumer and industrial goods company, with a secure mobile working service for its workforce.
Henkel will deploy Fiberlink’s Extend360 software to their mobile workers across its company in the next couple of months, providing these workers with ubiquitous access to corporate resources through a single user interface with one management platform for IT. 

With more than 52,000 employees globally, Henkel operates in a wide variety of countries and cultures. Henkel, headquartered in Germany, is organized into three globally operating business sectors driving sales in 125 countries around the world.

Fiberlink provides Henkel with a managed authentication service for users. Henkel now benefits from one single click solution for its mobile workers, one bill for its mobile working service and one platform for visibility into usage and security.

“Prior to working with Fiberlink, our remote workers were bringing their own access and installing and using third party data cards themselves, which increases complexity and leads to problems with the standard image.” stated Henkel’s project manager Bernd Euler. We have to find a solution that gives us the ability to consolidate access, cost and security monitoring into a single, easy to use software agent. Fiberlink’s solution will enable us to achieve these goals and also provides visibility to usage, cost and security.”

Fiberlink´s Extend360 software provides Henkel with the capability to get information about actual endpoint security, including virtual private networks, personal firewalls and anti-virus software before the users connect to the network.
 
Fiberlink Extend360 enables Henkel to monitor their security services. Henkel´s IT department is able to set policies around the operation of these security applications by user group, which are then enforced by Extend360, so that notebooks are protected, even when they are off network.
