VASCO and Fortinet

Today’s business is built around information applications. To ensure business workflow and productivity and to enhance client relationships, internal network resources are increasingly being made remotely accessible. The weakest link in any security infrastructure is the use of static passwords. These passwords are easily stolen, guessed, reused or shared. Managing passwords is a significant challenge in any medium or large organization.

By using VASCO strong authentication technology, you eliminate the weakest link in any security infrastructure - the use of static passwords. With VASCO's strong authentication users can establish secure VPN sessions.

By deploying VASCO and Fortinet VPN solutions as shown in the above configuration, the end user will have secure access to services on the local network such as e-mail, file servers, desktops, terminal services, specific client/server applications (e.g., Outlook Exchange, Notes, Siebel, Oracle, SAP), and web-based applications.

By using VASCO's authentication platform IDENTIKEY, access to all these essential applications is not left to the mercy of an insecure password.

The main benefits of deploying IDENTIKEY along with Fortinate’s VPN solutions are:

• Strong, two-factor authentication
• Policy driven authentication
• Active Directory integration
• Easy set up and management
