ActivIdentity’s solutions are used to confidently establish a person’s identity for digital interactions, also known as logical access control.
There is growing demand to combine this capability with the kinds of solutions that HID has traditionally offered for physical access control and secure card issuance.
These converged solutions will enable a single smart card to support multiple authentication methods and enforce policies throughout the enterprise, providing multilayered security across company networks, systems and facilities, protecting an organization’s intellectual property and information assets, according to a statement from HID Global.
Denis Hebert, president and CEO of HID Global, said: “HID Global has long been recognized as the security industry leader in physical access control and secure card issuance.
“Now, with the addition of ActivIdentity’s market leadership in intelligent identity assurance and its broad portfolio of complementary credential management, strong authentication and security client products, we will be uniquely positioned to provide the integrated solutions that our customers need for physical and logical access convergence.”
