Vasco Brings aXs GUARD Authentication to SMBs

Vasco Data Security International has expanded its aXs GUARD product set with new authentication appliance solutions (available through its network of channel partners) and an Internet security tool that will be distributed by its resellers and geared toward the e-commerce and small-business marketplace. The aXs GUARD Authentication Appliance is a standalone DIGIPASS authentication solution, based on VASCO's VACMAN core-authentication platform that will cater to small and medium-sized businesses for use with remote users accessing company networks. The Internet security appliance puts a lockdown on Web-related applications. Vasco is tackling “the rapidly expanding market of small and medium-sized enterprises in need of secure Internet applications,” says Jan Valcke, VASCO's president and COO, in a statement. “Smaller companies are as vulnerable as large corporations for online fraud. They mostly lack the resources to tackle online security issues.”
