Versasec Announces Partnership with Yubico

NEW YORK - June 27, 2016 - PRLog -- Versasec, the leader in smart card management systems, announced today it has partnered with Yubico, the leading provider of simple and open online identity protection. Versasec is Yubico's first Card Management System (CMS) partner and will announce support for Yubico's YubiKey in Versasec's next vSEC:CMS release later this month. Versasec and Yubico will host a webinar on July 13, 2016, 10:00 a.m. PT to discuss their joint solution.
