May 2008 by Marc Jacob
VASCO Data Security International, Inc. announced that Brazilian bank Banco Itau will protect the users of its retail e-banking application with VASCO’s VACMAN Controller and Digipass GO3.
Banco Itau, one of Brazil’s largest privately owned banks, is a longstanding customer of VASCO. Five years ago, the bank started securing its corporate customers with VASCO’s strong authentication products. Today, the bank will use VASCO’s market leading Digipass-VACMAN combination in order to safeguard its retail e-banking application.
Brazil is an important market for VASCO. The country has a mature and popular Internet banking channel and the banks are actively looking for ways to make the Internet a secure and easy to use business channel. Brazil can safely be regarded as a shining example of banking-related IT-excellence on the American continent. In 2007, VASCO opened a sales- and support office in Sao Paulo, the business capital of Brazil.
