HID Global announced that its parent company Assa Abloy has completed the acquisition of ActivIdentity, adding a portfolio of converged physical and logical access solutions to its kitty.
The solutions will enable existing and future enterprise, financial services and government customers to meet their security and compliance requirements.
According to an official release, ActivIdentity’s solutions are used to confidently establish a person’s identity for digital interactions, also known as logical access control.
There is also a growing demand to combine this capability with the kinds of solutions that HID has traditionally offered for physical access control and secure card issuance. The 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.
“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,” said Denis Hébert, president and CEO with HID Global.
As part of HID’s Global Identity and Access Management business, ActivIdentity will extend HID’s logical access control offering to include identity assurance products that help commercial and government organizations defend against security threats and meet compliance requirements while streamlining their infrastructure and simplifying the user experience.
The ActivIdentity acquisition will create opportunities for current HID Global and ActivIdentity channel partners to grow their businesses with Genuine HID by delivering integrated physical and logical authentication solutions that leverage the appliance-based ActivIdentity 4TRESS Authentication Server, ActivIdentity Credential Management System, and HID Global’s physical access solutions.
