Cascades secures its remote network with VASCO’s two-factor authentication
March 2010 by Marc Jacob
VASCO Data Security Inc. announces that Cascades - a recycling and paper packaging company - secures its remote network with VASCO’s two-factor authentication.
Cascades produces, converts and markets packaging and tissue products composed mainly of recycled fibres. In order to allow employees to access corporate resources and applications from remote offices or home, Cascades implemented a SSL VPN solution, secured by VASCO’s DIGIPASS™ authentication solution.
Secure Links, a leading services orientated company with experienced professionals focusing on perimeter network security and secure remote access solutions, proposed VASCO’s solutions to Cascades. The company also provided the necessary equipment so that an initial pilot could be set up. After evaluating the pilot project, Cascades opted for VASCO’s DIGIPASS solution in combination with its software suite VACMAN™.
Cascades’s IT support personnel, sales force, management and office workers were all equipped with DIGIPASS GO 6, a one-button authentication device , allowing them to remotely log on to applications, websites and the corporate network. DIGIPASS GO 6 generates one-time passwords which have a limited validity. The technology replaces a similar but costly solution, effectively combating Internet fraud.
“We are very happy to work with VASCO”, says Denis Robitaille, Director IT Technical Service at Cascades. “We already had an authentication solution in place but decided to replace it with VASCO’s DIGIPASS devices and VACMAN software suite mainly because of the low total cost of ownership. Other factors taken into account were the extended life length of the DIGIPASS and the ease of use of the administration console. Moreover, we were pleasantly surprised that the implementation went so quickly and smooth. VASCO’s support department helped us during all the migration steps.”
