DIGIPASS enables secure online access to Penn State’s administration services

As a major internet user, the Pennsylvania State University is keenly aware of the need for Internet Security. Penn State implemented  a number of security measures such as encryption, fire walling and password authorization to protect students’ personal information.

Strong authentication allowed Penn State to transfer their paper-based business processes into online electronic procedures. By deploying VASCO’s DIGIPASS authentication devices to faculty and staff, the University was able to provide direct electronic and secure access to its administration services.

Objective

Implement two-factor authentication devices to secure Penn State’s online administrative business processes at a reasonable cost.

Challenge

The authentication devices must to be fully compliant with the University’s existing infrastructure without needing to deploy additional hardware.

Solution

DIGIPASS is an affordable solution that could be fully integrated within the third party’s authentication package. The average battery lifetime of five years and beyond offers a high return on investment.
