13 7. Case studies VASCO serves a customer base of more than 9,500 companies in over 100 countries, including approximately 1,400 international financial institutions. In addition to the financial sector, VASCO technologies secure sensitive information and transactions for the enterprise security, e-commerce, and e-government industries. Our success stories showcase how diverse organizations across the world secure their business assets with VASCO strong authentication. On our Partner Portal, you will find our case studies divided in 2 different categories: 1. Online Application Security: Secure access to mission-critical web portals, SaaS applications, e-business and e-commerce applications 2. Remote Access and Network Security: Secure access to your business networks, remote (VPN) and local (LAN). The case studies are available as webpages and as downloadable PDF on our Partner Portal in the marketing section. Examples Remote Access and Network Security Name: QATARGAS Objective: Secure all business applications ensuring data integrity for all business departments and operation services and provide secure remote access for workforce and contractors. Challenge: Implement a Citrix compliant solution that secures the company s network and applications enabling remote access for executive management, remote offices and contractors. Solution: DIGIPASS has leveraged the security level of Qatargas remote network and business applications through the use of dynamic one-time passwords. DIGIPASS in combination with IDENTIKEY is fully compliant with Citrix solutions hence providing secure remote access to the Citrix metaframe. Quotes: The fact that VASCO s solutions are reliable and simple to manage, was a decisive factor in the decision making process. says Mohammed Abu-Nejim, Head of Data Networks at Qatargas Vertical Market: Industry Solution Partner: Citrix Channel Partner Marketing Toolkit 12

14 Name: SITA Objective: As SITA is an international company, executive management and com mercial staff travel frequently. SITA needed to thoroughly secure remote employee access to its network to avoid data breeches. Challenge: SITA needed a user-friendly solution offering high security. The existing security infrastructure needed to migrate to a remote access solution that worked on the Windows mainframe. Solution: VASCO s DIGIPASS Go 3 in combination with Citrix proved to be the security solution SITA was looking for. Migration of the existing IT-infrastructure went smoothly guaranteeing secure remote access for authorized users only. Quotes: The expansion of DIGIPASS never posed a problem, the scalability of the solution allowed us to reorder a small amount of DIGIPASS and buy extra licenses whenever we needed them, without having to adapt our IT infrastructure. says Bart Decuyper - Manager ICT Infrastructure SITA Netherlands and Flanders. Vertical Market: Industry Solution Partner: Citrix Examples Application Security: Name: Royal Belgian Football League Objective: R.B.F.A. wants to secure the access to its extranet, because of the confidential information on the extranet, like invoices and details about fines. Challenge: The users have to be able to use the security solution anywhere and the product should be user friendly for everybody who needs to utilize it. Solution: DIGIPASS GO1 secures the access to e-kickoff and is easy to use. The user of the extranet only needs to open DIGIPASS GO1 to generate a unique password that gives him together with his username access to e-kickoff. Thanks to its convenient size, DIGIPASS GO1 can be easily distributed by the R.B.F.A. and the members can take it with them, wherever they go. Quotes: DIGIPASS GO1 is durable and very user friendly for people and does not require any technical knowledge. Together with the easy integration of VACMAN Controller, this made us choose for VASCO and DIGIPASS. says Werner Ramaekers, Software Consultant. Vertical Market: Sport Federation 13 Channel Partner Marketing Toolkit

15 Name: Bebat Objective: Battery manufacturers declare their sales statistics in the Batbase web application of Bebat. Bebat needs to thoroughly secure the access to this web application to avoid competitors or other third parties getting access to this confidential sales numbers.

Solution: Bebat found in VASCO s DIGIPASS and VACMAN Controller strong authentication the security solution that is suited to its needs. The Bebat DIGIPASS GO 3 is easy to use, but still offers a high security level. The VACMAN Controller software is easy to install and guarantees that only authorized users can access the application. Quotes: When I discovered VASCO s DIGIPASS and VACMAN Controller strong authentication solution, I quickly saw the advantages. It is a user friendly solution of a company with an impressive track record in the financial sector, says Bruno Abé of integrator Necho Europe Vertical Market: Industry Name: SD WORX Objective: SD WORX wanted to secure the exchange of confidential information over the Internet, so that their clients could use their payroll software packages without worrying about Internet crime. Challenge: To implement a security solution that would make it simple to recognize the thousands of authorized users who would be accessing payroll packages e-linx and e-blox through the Internet from many different entry points. Solution: SD WORX opted for DIGIPASS 300 strong authentication to add an extra layer of security to its e-linx and e-blox applications. The use of DIGIPASS 300 requires no technical knowledge of the end-users, so it can be distributed to all types of clients. Quotes: End-users describe DIGIPASS 300 as user friendly, compact and easy to take with you, wherever you go. The hardcover that protects DIGIPASS 300 when it is not being used is been found very useful, like the fact that people can attach DIGIPASS 300 to their key ring. says Koen Kips, E-infrastructure coordinator at SD WORX.

YOB wants to secure the web application to avoid that Internet criminals can intercept the confidential data. Challenge: YOB was looking for high level security that was both mobile and easy to use by the accountants and their clients. Solution: YOB opted for VASCO s DIGIPASS 820 and VACMAN Controller strong authentication. While the back-end - VACMAN Controller - is easy to integrate, the design of VASCO s DIGIPASS 820 supports unlimited mobility and flexibility from the user. The success of VASCO in the financial sector enhances the user acceptance of the accountants and their clients, as they are already familiar with strong authentication as banking clients. Quotes: Thanks to VASCO s success in the banking sector and the analogy between online banking and online accounting, users automatically accepted the use of DIGIPASS for security.
