News Releases
December 10, 2003

OAKBROOK TERRACE, Ill., and BRUSSELS, Belgium, December 10, 2003 - 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 that it has launched VACMAN Middleware 2.1, the newest version of its strong authentication server.

VACMAN Middleware 2.1 boasts a large number of new features. The most important new features are:

  1. VACMAN Middleware 2.1 , in addition to any RADIUS environment, supports Windows and Web-based environments. Due to this feature, the number of potential users of VACMAN Middleware is dramatically expanded.
  2. The integration of VACMAN Middleware 2.1 in Microsoft Outlook Web Access (OWA) and CITRIX is state of the art. This means that VACMAN Middleware is located in the most secured place on the system, while the portal stays in the so called DMZ (demilitarised zone), thus adding a very important asset to VASCO’s range of Digipass Packs for OWA and CITRIX.
  3. VACMAN Middleware 2.1 supports external databases such as Active Directory (AD) and ODBC compliant databases. System and security administrators have the choice to store critical information in the repository of their choice, depending on their company’s policy.
  4. A large number of existing assets of the VACMAN Middleware product have been improved (easier and quicker installation, as well as CHAP support). Visit www.vasco.com for more detailed information.
