OneSpan debuts DigipassONE platform to modernize bank authentication

Electronic signature and authentication cybersecurity company OneSpan Inc. today launched DigipassONE, a unified platform that pulls its authentication, transaction security, in-app protection, analytics and digital credential products together under a single architecture.

The company is pitching the platform at financial institutions that need to modernize authentication without ripping out what they already have. Most banks support several authentication methods at once and adopt new ones gradually. DigipassONE is meant to let them do that through shared platform services rather than a single technology swap.

The platform ties together authentication tools OneSpan already sells. Those include one-time passcodes, FIDO2, the Digipass line and Cronto transaction signing, which OneSpan previously sold as separate products. It runs on-premises or in the cloud, and customers can use it with OneSpan’s hardware tokens or in software. Passkeys and digital credentials are supported too, which OneSpan sees as the route customers take as they move off older authentication toward FIDO2 passwordless logins.

OneSpan has organized the platform around four areas. It’s designed to let institutions modernize without disruption, strengthen security through high-assurance authentication and transaction signing, simplify administration and reporting across methods and expand the platform as customer and regulatory requirements change.
