Network Engines, a leading developer, manufacturer and distributor of storage and security solutions, and VASCO Data Security International, Inc (Nasdaq: VDSI; www.vasco.com), a global provider of security products that enable e-business and e-commerce, today announced an agreement to bring two-factor authentication solutions uniquely developed to serve the security needs of small to midsize enterprises.
The authentication solution consists of VASCO VACMAN Middleware software and complete line of Digipass tokens, which combined, provide strong authentication for Corporate Network Access Security. The VASCO solution will be distributed to North American reseller partners by Network Engines distribution operation, TidalWire.
"VASCO's Digipass two-factor authentication solution is a major asset to our authentication offering," said Bruce Ligerman, president and CEO at LogiTel USA, a New York-based remote access systems integrator specializing in enterprise solutions. "With security mandates and concerns affecting even smaller firms, a secure, easily deployed solution at clearly competitive price points-- like VACMAN/Digipass -- has real appeal to us and our customers."
"We are offering this solution through Network Engines and TidalWire because of the knowledge and focus they have demonstrated in the security and distribution areas, said Kevin Donovan, VP of Business Development at VASCO. "We also are impressed by the level of service and customer satisfaction associated with the TidalWire organization. We feel confident that this is the best partner to represent our product to the reseller channel."
"Network Engines is delighted to be chosen by VASCO to deliver the VACMAN/Digipass solution to our reseller and integration partners,"
said Mike Riley, vice president of sales, marketing and strategy at Network Engines. "Increasingly, these partners are seeking security solutions that meet the demands of the smaller enterprise customer.
VASCO's Digipass authentication solution provides essential, large enterprise-class functionality at a price point that smaller companies can afford.
Pricing for the VASCO solution starts at $2,350 for a 25-user solution. Demo packages are available at www.vasco.com/networkengines.
