SLL/ VPN solution

productivity benefits, but security risks have increased accordingly", states Ajay Kumar Meher, CIO at Multi Screen Media Pvt. Ltd. "Static passwords are extremely inadequate for remote and mobile users; posing vast risks as they can be easily guessed or hacked. We therefore quickly decided to deploy strong two-factor authentication; a much more secure means of authenticating users onto networks as it requires two separate security elements."DIGIPASS TECHNOLOGY IS 'BEST FIT'After conducting a requirements analysis, MSM evaluated a number of twofactor authentication solutions from various vendors. Ultimately, MSM decided on VASCO's DIGIPASS technology as the solution was the 'best fit' for its security needs."VASCO's authentication solutions distinguished itself from competitors, due to its low total cost of ownership", Ajay Kumar Meher said. "The DIGIPASS technology could be seamlessly integrated into our existing SLL/ VPN solution. What's more, we were not required to buy additional costly, specialized hardware or to install supplementary software on end-users' PCs.""Furthermore, VASCO's DIGIPASS devices are very cost-effective as they have an extended battery lifetime of up to seven years, depending on use. We can gradually replace the devices as they expire, spreading costs and reducing logistic issues as we don't need to replace the devices all at once."The integration process of VASCO's authentication solution into MSM's SSL/VPN solution went quite smoothly. "We experienced some minor issues during the set-up phase, but these were quickly solved thanks to VASCO's professional support services. No other issues occurred during the implementation and rollout phase. All in all, everything went surprisingly well", said Ajay Kumar Meher
