Vasco Data Security has launched a new version of aXsGUARD Identifier designed for for small, medium and large enterprises to improve the access to corporate networks and applications for remote users or home workers.
According to Vasco, the aXsGUARD Identifier offers LDAP synchronisation allowing the aXsGUARD Identifier user database to be synchronised with multiple LDAP directories, including Microsoft Active Directory, Novell eDirectory and any other LDAP directory. It is expected to reduce the administrative tasks and costs for IT-departments.
The company said that the new appliance uses its IDENTIKEY server technology. As a result, aXsGUARD Identifier could benefit from the self registration tool incorporated in IDENTIKEY. Remote users can self register and activate their DIGIPASS, said Vasco..
Two new hardware models have been added to the aXsGUARD Identifier product line. The AG 3442, which is suitable for small enterprises (5 to 250 users) looking to more securely authenticate their remote users and the AG 7552 that is suitable for enterprises with up to 100,000 users or can be used used for reporting, with redundancy options.
Jan Valcke, president and COO at Vasco, said: Enterprises sometimes prefer not to share servers for too many crucial applications and therefore they opt for a separate appliance. With aXsGUARD Identifier VASCO is addressing this demand and offers authentication on a standardized 19 rack, which can easily be integrated into an existing IT-infrastructure. With the new version, we have reduced the administrative tasks and costs associated with the installations for IT departments.
