In addition to announcing the latest additions to its award-winning iCLASS SE® platform that provides the highest level of security, privacy and portability, the company is also organising a high profile end user event about convergence: All-in-One Access Control: Are You Ready?
“Given its scope and importance in northern Europe, we are delighted to be attending Skydd 2012,” said Volker Kunz, director of sales Europe with HID Global. “We will be showcasing a full spectrum of our technology, products, solutions and services to highlight our unrivalled electronic access control solutions for projects around the world.
“We will be on-hand to meet channel partners, end users, OEMs, systems integrators and security and IT managers to discuss the secure identity challenges they’re faced with at work and how our future proofed products can help them.”
Philip Hoyer, from HID Global’s strategic innovation team will open HID’s high profile end user event, which will examine the subject of convergence. The session on Tuesday 18 September, between 2.00pm and 5.30pm in conference room K23 will be facilitated by Åke Norrby, physical security professional, Coor Service from Management Group AB.
Speakers include:
- Christian Reuther, business development secure identity services, HID Global
- John Aslaksby, senior advisor security, Norwegian Post
- Marcus Murray, independent consultant, TRUESEC
- Robert Jansson, end user and consultant business manager, HID Global
- Tom Widegren, regional sales and account manager finance, HID Global
“Our end user event, “All-in-One Access Control: Are You Ready?” explores the pressing need for business to bring together the ability to work from the office and from the cloud,” said Philip.
“This requires the traditionally separate domains of physical and online security to combine to deliver a single access solution. This is the foundation of ‘convergence’ and our debate: one corporate policy, one converged credential and one audit log.
“We are well-positioned to organise this cutting edge debate because we have been pioneering solutions in this field for some time and Skydd provides a superb opportunity to invite high profile specialists to bring their expertise and curiosity so we can share our knowledge and learn from one another.”
