Threat

Salesforce.com’s end-users trust in Salesforce.com’s ability to properly secure their data. However, the most important aspect of your online security is access control to your data. Password security remains the weakest link in any security infrastructure. 

Furthermore, companies that make use of cloud-based applications may not have the resources to build and maintain a proprietary authentication infrastructure or consider it too costly to do so for a single application.

Goal

For companies who cannot benefit from a traditional authentication model, VASCO developed a cloud based authentication solution to secure access to business-critical data. DIGIPASS as a Service is the independent, security service, protecting your Salesforce.com log-on credentials.

DIGIPASS as a Service provides enhanced protection against account hacking and identity theft. End-users benefit from VASCO’s state-of-the-art DIGIPASS authentication technology already used by world leading banks around the globe, hence adding banking level security to business and consumer applications. With DIGIPASS as a Service for Salesforce.com VASCO offers a standard, secure way to protect your customer information.

Offer

DIGIPASS as a Service is offered as a fully outsourced authentication model to the customer, in which VASCO takes care of the entire authentication process allowing companies to focus on their core business. Companies no longer need to make upfront investments in an authentication infrastructure and benefit from the best-of-breed authentication VASCO offers.

The DIGIPASS as a Service offering includes:

• fully redundant hosted authentication back-end
• The provisioning of DIGIPASS software or hardware authenticators to end-users
