Sony Bank implements VASCO’s authentication technology
September 2012 by Emmanuelle Lamandé
VASCO Data Security International, Inc., announced that Sony Bank Incorporated implemented VASCO’s DIGIPASS and VACMAN authentication technology, to enhance the security level of its Internet banking service.
Sony Bank is an affiliate of Sony Financial Holdings that comprises Sony Life Insurance, Sony Assurance and other group companies. Sony Bank started business in 2001 as an internet bank for individuals. In
accordance with its corporate philosophy, the bank provides financial products and services that satisfy
customers by embracing their individual views.
Sony Bank made the decision to implement VASCO’s high-level security technology. Its customers can
use DIGIPASS GO 7, a device that generates one-time passwords. These passwords only last for a
limited time period and become invalid after this short period of time. In the back-end, VASCO’s VACMAN
authentication platform is capable of processing the large volumes of end-users, typical for a banking
environment. VASCO’s flexible and strong security solutions are tailored to the bank’s needs and improve
the quality of the online services and thus the customers’ confidence and peace of mind.
