OAKBROOK TERRACE, Ill., and BRUSSELS, Belgium, September 8, 2005 - VASCO Data Security International, Inc. (Nasdaq: VDSI) ( www.vasco.com), the global leader in strong user authentication products to the financial sector, today announced that it is cooperating with i-flex® solutions (www.iflexsolutions.com) to integrate Digipass two factor authentication security with FLEXCUBE@^TM, i-flex’s Internet banking solution. As a result, i-flex customers will be able to enjoy phishing-free e-banking.

VASCO’s VACMAN Controller has been integrated into FLEXCUBE@.
This means that new or existing FLEXCUBE@ customers will be able to add Digipass strong authentication to their system by uploading the Digipass secrets into VACMAN Controller and rolling out the soft- or hardware Digipass to the end-users.
i-flex’s offerings include FLEXCUBE®, a complete product suite for retail, consumer, corporate, investment and internet banking, asset management, and investor servicing. The solution offers integrated delivery of banking products across the branch network, including telephone, ATM, POS (Point of Sales) and Internet.

“By partnering with i-flex, we have brought Digipass two-factor authentication to FLEXCUBE customers,” said Jan Valcke, VASCO’s President & COO. “We are convinced that due to this cooperation, more banks will offer Digipass to their customers in other geographies”.

“The combination of FLEXCUBE@ and VASCO’s Digipass offers banks a secured Internet banking transaction environment against cyber crimes such as phishing, Trojans, virus pharming and identity theft.” said Thomas Mathew, Vice President, Product Management & Knowledge Management, i-flex solutions
