The administration of the City of Trois-Rivières is made up of hundreds of employees dedicated to a common goal; offer high-quality public services to Trois-Rivières residents. To achieve this, the municipal administration is made up of directorates, each with a distinct role and expertise.
The Police Directorate contributes to the maintenance of peace, order and public security. For compliance reasons, the Quebec police services are obliged to use MFA for computers which have access to the database of the Quebec police intelligence center.
The Challenge
Implement an MFA solution compatible with YubiKey in order to comply with Quebec regulations
MFA is mandatory for Quebec police services in order to comply with regulations. The main problem for the City of Trois-Rivières was to find a solution that made it possible to implement MFA on both local and remote desktop connections (RDP) from specific workstations.
Additionally, they were looking for a YubiKey compatible solution as they already had 250 YubiKey tokens.
The Solution
Add multi-factor authentication for RDP and local connections
The IT team started looking for a solution to this problem and found UserLock. Deploying the software was easy.
He very quickly realized that UserLock suited his needs perfectly.
The installation only took a few minutes and the initial setup was very easy. The low cost of the solution, the ease of implementation, the quality of the documentation and the 30 day free trial convinced me.
