Network World cited Papa Gino's for its use and advancement of the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) security chip found in every Dell laptop or desktop the company buys. Through the use of the TPM, Papa Gino's has created a new level of security to protect its business data, help guard against identity theft for its employees and customers, keep sensitive employee and customer data secure and more. When the chip is used with Wave Systems' EMBASSY(R) Trust Suite (ETS) it allows Papa Gino's to successfully execute its strategically architected security plan right out of the box.
"Being named an Enterprise All-Star for our use of trusted computing in the September 25, 2006 issue of Network World is a great honor," said Chris Cahalin, network manager for Papa Gino's. "The TPM and Wave software are amazing and have truly secured our network. It is such a well thought-out, elegant solution that we can't spread the word fast enough."
The TPM is a unique, standards-based hardware security chip that handles various advanced security tasks on a computer. When combined with Wave Systems' ETS software, the TPM performs a variety of business security features, such as security policy management, data protection, password management and strong pre-boot authentication. The benefits of these applications for reducing network security problems include mitigating password, data and personal information theft, application security, strong wireless authentication, secure email and more--all while increasing productivity.
"Wave, along with the other members of the Trusted Computing Group, has a clear vision of the next generation of security, and Papa Gino's selection as a Network World Enterprise All-Star is a testament to this vision," said Steven Sprague, president and CEO, Wave Systems Corp. Papa Gino's use of Wave software to leverage the security of the TPM represents an outstanding example of how Wave customers are truly taking advantage of this new level of security."
