HID Global announced its new ActivID Appliance product for users to protect corporate data against unauthorised access.
Aimed at medium to large organisations, the appliance is interoperable with a range of authentication methods to ensure employees and customers have secure and appropriate access to corporate data and online applications. ActivID Appliance, formerly 4TRESS Authentication Appliance, is available as a hardware and a virtual appliance. Users can secure a mobile workforce, enabling the use of personal and corporate mobile phones for two factor authentication.
Yves Massard, director of product line management, Identity Assurance with HID Global, said: “HID Global works closely with customers in every industry, from banking and government to healthcare and the enterprise, and their feedback is consistent across the board – they need a reliable and secure way to validate user identity that does not add unnecessary complexity to their existing environments. We developed the ActivID Appliance based on this input to improve the ease of deployment and management, while ensuring the highest level of security for end-users accessing data over the public Internet using all types of devices.” The product allows control over which soft token platform is used: for instance, a user can decide to enable iOS, Windows and Blackberry but disable Android phones. Multiple security domains allow segregated management of different groups (such as employees and customers).
