VASCO's CertiID Managed PKI Offers Trusted Certificates To Users

VASCO Data Security has announced the global launch of its CertiID Managed PKI services. With CertiID Managed PKI, corporations all over the world can benefit from trusted certificates and digital signatures without the need of implementing a PKI infrastructure in-house.

VASCO’s move towards the global managed PKI sector is a consequence of its recent acquisition of the Dutch internet trust provider DigiNotar. DigiNotar is a trusted Certificate Authority (CA), and will take care of the entire security process for VASCO’s Managed PKI customers.

The use of user authentication (OTP) with digital signatures (PKI) is growing rapidly, in various sectors and geographic markets. VASCO, as a market leader in the field of user authentication, electronic signatures and digital signatures, is well positioned to take advantage of that evolution.

Globally, government rules and regulations such as Sarbanes-Oxley (U.S.) are pushing corporations towards the implementation of best practices, trusted online channel and solid reporting methods. VASCO’s CertiID Managed PKI provides tools for corporations to be compliant with afore mentioned rules and regulations.

With the launch of CertiID Managed PKI, VASCO has expanded its identity management offering. The company believes that there is global demand from corporations that want an outsourced security model, offering a wide variety of applications, including remote access, signing services, disk encryption and many more.

With its three core technologies, VASCO offers a complete and competitive outsourced security range:

• Strong User Authentication via one-time passwords

• Electronic Signatures for secure transactions

• The highest available security technology currently in the market, Digital Signatures or PKI

“With this global launch of CertiID Managed PKI, VASCO continues its strategy of buying technologies and companies locally and marketing them globally,” said Ken Hunt, Chairman and CEO VASCO. “2 quarters ago, we acquired DigiNotar. We are proud to state that CertiID Managed PKI is the second hidden DigiNotar gem that VASCO offers to the world. Earlier this month, we already launched our own set of SSL and EVSSL certificates.”
