DIGIPASS as a Service had been designed for ASPs wanting to add strong authentication to protect their content, the data of their users, e-commerce environments or simply want to secure customer self-service applications which reduce customer service back office tasks.
By offering authentication in a service model, VASCO overcomes a number of issues ASPs are facing when thinking about the enhancement of their security through strong authentication.
Native integration of strong authentication might require infrastructure changes which might be costly. Furthermore, deploying two-factor authentication to a large number of end-users might be considered costly and time-consuming.
ASPs are sometimes reticent towards the deployment of strong authentication to their customer base. Many arguments are being used, such as logistic burdens, portability of authentication devices, multiple authenticators for different applications, the installation of software on the end-user’s PC, high costs to secure individual applications, associated administration and helpdesk costs, branding of authenticators, …
DIGIPASS as a Service overcomes these apprehensions: authentication becomes an operational cost rather than a capital expense. As the authentication process is outsourced the time to market can be sped up allowing you to achieve your business plans more quickly.
Last but not least, you are able to focus on your core activities instead of security. Adding strong user authentication to your environment can give you as ASP the upper hand in an insecure, fast evolving and competitive online world.
VASCO offers a wide range of software and hardware-based authentication devices which can be entirely customized and branded. With DIGIPASS as a Service, you can authenticate yourself for any web page and application in a cloud based model.
