VASCO Data Security launches DIGIPASS Ready Partner Program

Partners will be able to either bundle their solutions with VASCO solutions or develop ones based on a combined product offering.

Partners can add value to their solution by adding an extra security layer to it through DIGIPASS authentication.

Channel partners can also bundle DIGIPASS authentication and e-signature solutions with those from other vendors.

Partner benefits include web presence, VASCO training, co-marketing initiatives, sales and technical support and event participation.

"The threat from outside attacks to systems and applications is only increasing," said Jan Valcke, COO and president VASCO Data Security.

"By stimulating interoperability with other solution vendors, we only give customers better weapons to keep unauthorised users out.

"By implementing products that are DIGIPASS Ready customers will experience a larger return-on-investment from their authentication investments.

"Not only will deployments involving solutions from different vendors be faster, they will be able to use that one DIGIPASS they already have for a range of other authentication purposes."

There are two types of partners: DIGIPASS Ready Partners and DIGIPASS Ready Premium partners each with different benefits.

Once effective, solution partners can carry the DIGIPASS Ready logo.

They will also appoint a partnership, technical and marketing contact to exploit joint initiatives.
