VASCO Launches DIGIPASS-as-a-Service

VASCO Data Security, a software security company specialising in authentication products, has announced its DIGIPASS-as-a-Service (DaaS) authentication model. DIGIPASS-as-a-Service (DaaS) is the newest service solution added to VASCO’s existing authentication product suite. DIGIPASS as a Service (DaaS) goes beyond simple Authentication-as-a-Service with a complete platform that incorporates the user, the enterprise and e-commerce. As such, DIGIPASS-as-a-Service offers on-demand identity and transaction security.

DIGIPASS-as-a-Service is offered to allow customers to secure a multitude of enterprise and end-user applications with one DIGIPASS. Today, companies are securing access to their Webmail, network, ERP, and CRM systems with one DIGIPASS. The DaaS authentication service is building on this existing model and providing a platform where consumers can access their online bank, buy tickets over the Internet, play games, and access his/ her social network account with one DIGIPASS.

For end users, password management is often a nightmare. They have different passwords for their bank, their social network account, their credit cards, and their Webmail. VASCO’s goal is to enable a user to have access to countless applications with only one DIGIPASS. With DaaS, VASCO makes this possible.

“The launch of VASCO’s DIGIPASS Authentication Services (DaaS) offering is a major step in the company’s evolution,” said Jan Valcke, VASCO’s President & COO. “We believe that the combination of VASCO’s DaaS with our existing end-to-end authentication solutions is bringing any existing online application into the reach of VASCO’s DIGIPASS authentication.”

“Currently, a high number of online applications and their users aren’t able to benefit from enhanced security such as strong authentication,” Valcke stated. “Possible barriers are a low frequency of use of the application or the relatively low monetary value of the account. Nevertheless, these applications can also have a high value to the end user. For VASCO, all online applications have the right to be protected with best-of-breed DIGIPASS authentication.”
