Vasco Data Security has launched Digipass Pack for Remote Authentication with Digipass for Mobile, which includes Digipass for Mobile licenses, enabling the use of mobile phone as authentication device.

The company said that the Digipass Pack for Remote Authentication is its authentication offering that addresses the security needs of SMEs and is available for 5, 10, 25 or 50 users.

According to Vasco, the new addition to Digipass Pack product line, Digipass for Mobile, leverages the use of mobile phones as an authentication device. It can also be used for two factor authentication and digital signature. The pack edition is used to gain secure remote access to corporate networks and business applications.

The new packs with Digipass for Mobile are powered by Identikey as authentication server. Identikey is simple to install, easy to manage and suitable for use by SMEs wanting to add an extra security layer to protect remote access to the corporate network and data, the company claims.

Jan Valcke, president and COO of Vasco Data Security, said: By integrating Digipass for Mobile into our Digipass packs, the mobile phone already in the pockets of the employees is used as the authentication platform. As a result the physical distribution of authenticators to employees is overcome.
