 "VASCO Launches DIGIPASS For Mobile Enterprise Security Edition")
VASCO Data Security International, a software security company specialising in authentication, has launched DIGIPASS for Mobile Enterprise Security Edition. The new Enterprise Security version of DIGIPASS for Mobile brings banking level security to corporate environments. Deployment and management have been simplified for use in corporate environments, thanks to the application provisioning service. This service by VASCO allows enterprise customers to efficiently deploy two-factor authentication using the mobile phone as an authentication device without impacting the existing infrastructure.
Over the years, VASCO has built experience in large-scale deployments of authentication to end-users. Ease-of-use and smooth provisioning are key components in large deployments. This experience is translated in DIGIPASS for Mobile Enterprise Security Edition: on the one hand, the mobile phone, which is already largely accepted by many users, is leveraged as an authentication device; while on the other hand, provisioning is simplified owing to the application provisioning service.
How It Works
IT departments will need to integrate VASCO server technology (VACMAN Controller, VACMAN Middleware IDENTIKEY or aXsGUARD) and assign for which applications (VPN, application security, Webmail access…) DIGIPASS for Mobile will be used. For the roll out of DIGIPASS for Mobile Enterprise Security Edition, the end user will need to connect to the VASCO application provisioning service and enter his mobile number. He will receive an SMS from the VASCO server allowing him to download the application on his phone. This process is secure and hardly takes any time. Once the authentication application is downloaded, the user will request activation information from his IT department.
DIGIPASS for Mobile Enterprise Security Edition relies on VASCO’s VACMAN technology; it can be used in combination with other DIGIPASS solutions and supports more than 400 different types of mobile devices.
“With DIGIPASS for Mobile Enterprise Security Edition, the mobile phone can easily and securely be leveraged for two-factor authentication in corporate environments,” says Jan Valcke, president and COO at VASCO Data Security.
