Executive Summary

VASCO’s strong authentication addresses the gap caused by using insecure static passwords for the authentication of users that require remote access to networks and applications via SonicWALL SSL-VPN. 

Goal of the solution

VASCO DIGIPASS authenticators allow employees and partners to gain access to sensitive information and internal applications from a remote location without compromising security or user convenience. VASCO provides two-factor strong authentication based on one-time password technology to protect user login and ensures that only authenticated users gain access.

By integrating DIGIPASS strong authentication with SonicWALL SSL-VPN solutions, the customer receives an easy-to-deploy remote access solution with increased security. All access options incorporate two-factor authentication from VASCO. The combination of SonicWALL SSL-VPN and VASCO technologies satisfies security and infrastructure requirements while providing a simplified end-user experience.

Advantages:

The recent spate of mishaps and malicious incidents involving personal information is raising public concern about identity theft to new heights and spurs a new round of tougher, more specific, privacy legislation. These high-profile cases demonstrate how much harder it is to keep incidents involving personal information out of the press. The ensuing bad publicity can be devastating, and sometimes fatal, to organizations whose businesses rely on public and consumer trust. 

Organizations are realizing that having security and privacy policies is not enough.
