HID Global, trusted identity solutions announced the general availability of WorkforceID™ Authentication solution, the latest addition to its cloud platform for creating a seamless, effortless experience for issuing, managing, and using identity credentials in physical and digital workplaces.

Multi-factor authentication platform

Workforce ID Authentication builds upon HID's proven and widely deployed multi-factor authentication platform for consumer applications including online and mobile banking.

It joins a growing suite of employee ID badging, visitor management, and other trusted workforce identity solutions.

Identity as the parameter

"A person's identity has become the new security perimeter in a hybrid workplace that now extends from home to the office and everywhere in between," said Julian Lovelock, VP Global Business Segment, IAM, with HID Global.

"The addition of multi-factor authentication to the HID WorkforceID platform advances our vision of a unified and flexible approach to identity and access management for an organisation's employees, partners, and contractors. This is the next step in providing a suite of applications that manage digital and physical identity credentials through one convenient cloud platform."

Easy and secure integration

Pivotal in HID's overall multi-factor authentication portfolio, the HID® WorkforceID Authentication solution enables organisations to extend a streamlined, simple, and secure login experience to every user and application throughout today's diverse and dynamic enterprise environment.

It easily integrates with Microsoft's on-premise Active Directory (AD) or cloud-based Azure AD.

  • Simplified deployment and administration: Easy integration with cloud-based, on-premise, or hybrid legacy applications, as well as existing enterprise technology including Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) for remote login.
  • Multiple authentication factors: HID® ActivID™ one-time password tokens and security keys, smart cards, and the HID® Approve™ mobile app that enables users to authenticate to applications and deny fraudulent login attempts via their phone.
  • Standards-based security: ISO 27001 standards, SOC2-certified, and EU GDPR-compliant.
  • Intuitive user experience: Featuring self-service tasks for setting up authentication methods.

Authentication ecosystem expansion

The WorkforceID Authentication solution extends HID's broader authentication ecosystem that includes its comprehensive credential offering and WorkforceID Digital Credential Manager for easily managing workforce authenticators used for both physical and digital access.
