With the Disability Discrimination Act coming into force
last month, Wick Hill has announced a Vasco security authentication
solution to help visually and physically challenged
users.
With many SMEs expected to struggle in complying with the Act,
the solution helps people with disabilities to access web and IT
systems which require secure token-based authentication.
Vasco's Digipass 300 Comfort is a PIN-protected, token-based
authentication solution, where the size and format of the token
display and keypad are designed to assist users with visual and
other physical disabilities.
The tokens will typically be used to access computer networks
and websites in areas such as local government secure services, the
health service, banking systems, teleworking, remote access and
wireless services. The tokens can secure internal as well as
external access.
The Digipass 300 Comfort can provide authentication for IT
systems access for office-based users as well as mobile and
home-based workers. It is suitable for e-business applications such
as e-banking, where customers might need authentication tokens to
log on and perform online transactions.
Ian Kilpatrick, chairman of Wick Hill Group, said, "Many
businesses are moving to secure token-based access to computer
networks and this solution allows them to give equal access to all
their staff.
"It's also a boon for pressurised IT and HR departments rushing
for compliance. The Vasco solution can be used alongside other
token-based security systems, so equal access can be quickly given
to all staff."
