May 2011 by Marc Jacob
VASCO Data Security International, Inc. announced that Thinfactory, a Belgian cloud service provider, puts DIGIPASS as a Service at the disposal of its end-users on its online web store.
DIGIPASS as a Service is VASCO’s cloud based authentication service that makes use of VASCO’s proprietary authentication technology. Companies can focus on their core businesses as VASCO takes care of all the aspects of securing a network or applications. DIGIPASS as a Service was designed for companies that want to secure web applications with strong user authentication, but do not have the resources or the know-how to manage a security solution.
Thinfactory is a Belgian cloud service provider, offering elementary and scalable ICT building blocks in the Benelux countries. Its cloud services are gathered on Cloud Plaza, an online selling platform. In this web shop, customers and resellers can buy applications for desktops, laptops and smart phones. An up-to-date Software as a Service offering leads companies to a range of the latest programs and innovative applications.
VASCO is rapidly expanding its DIGIPASS as a Service offering. In a first phase, the service for B-to-B was launched. Recently, VASCO has started the second phase, aiming at the B-to-E-market, in which employees are the end-users. Eventually, in the third phase, VASCO will focus on the B-to-C-market, planning to secure typical online consumer applications, such as e-gaming, e-commerce or social network accounts.
“Thinfactory was eager to offer its Cloud Plaza users a two-factor authentication solution with banking level security. In VASCO we found a trustworthy partner that could supplement our service offerings with its DIGIPASS as a Service. Its ease of use, scalability and high level of security are only some of the advantages that were decisive for us,” says Johan Verhaeren, Head of Sales and Marketing at Thinfactory.
“DIGIPASS as a Service is an outstanding way of adding two-factor authentication to online applications. VASCO is pleased to notice that this cloud based offering becomes more and more prevalent in the range of cloud service providers,” says Ken Hunt, Founder, Chairman and CEO of VASCO Data Security.
