VASCO Data Security International, Inc. is one of the pioneers of this innovation. Through this security system, users or customers are asked to key in 2 out of the 3 authentication methods. This protocol requires the user to identify who he or she is, enter something that he or she has and plug in a code that he or she only knows. A thumb print or an eye scan is one of the methods of identifying who the user is. A bank account or an SSN (social security number) is one of the verifiers that the user has and a PIN or a password is something that the user knows. By combining two out of three authentication processes, users are given the assurance that hackers won’t be able to easily get into their account.
As a leader in security, VASCO offers a wide range of combinations of these 2FA. Some of the solutions they offer include USB authenticators, hardware authenticators, mobile authentication, SMS delivery, smart cards and software authentication. Because of the broad solutions they provide, the company has become the preferred partner of more than 10,000 businesses in 100 countries around the world.
Headquartered in Oakbrook Terrace, Illinois, VASCO Data Security International continues to empower developers to integrate their security offerings to whatever applications they are creating. With the security systems in place, companies and their customers can go to bed with peace of mind that their information is safe.
