    The way a former company I was at dealt with SecurID was to have the
    physical token kept in our 24/7 Network Operations Center. If a
    vendor needed/wanted to get in they had to call the NOC, the NOC would
    check their name against a list. Assuming that was okay, the NOC
    would provide the read out of the token, the vendor knew the PIN. Not
    perfect, but better than just handing out tokens to every vendor that
    comes along.
