Kunick Leisure is one of the two largest UK suppliers of amusement and gaming machines to the pub, club and leisure industry, with more than 45,000 products in over 20,000 outlets. Traditionally, customers phoned Kunick to request information on the performance of certain machines in certain outlets or areas. Kunick researched the relevant databases, printed and then sent the results via the post. It was a slow and often tedious process. There is a main web server and currently two separate servers running the databases, all based on Windows NT4.
Customers then get access to the database to retrieve information relevant to their pubs or clubs.
However, the last thing Kunick wanted was for the wrong customers to access the wrong information . Without building lots of individual websites on separate servers, there seemed to be little chance of tackling the problem, at least until it came across Authoriszor 2000 . Authoriszor 2000 has enabled Kunick to offer a level of security that ensures that each customer can only retrieve database information for which they have the authority. It is a product that is designed to enable secure business over the web, eliminate the risk of file deposition attacks and leave no trace of content in the web root. That means that when one customer is reading data relevant to its business, no other party can access or change the data because it is stored as a virtual page on the client's machine.
