New Identity & Access Management Announced By HID Global For Cloud Platform

HID Global, a worldwide leader in trusted identity solutions, today announced the availability of the new HID Authentication Service, which is part of its cloud identity platform, designed to deliver a suite of trusted identity solutions. These services make it easy to manage and use identities through a secure cloud delivery model. This multi-tenant cloud authentication service offers large scale, simplified on-boarding of users and frictionless authentication for identity and access management (IAM) customers spanning a variety of industries. Regulations, such as GDPR, PSD2, the California Privacy Regulation and HIPAA, are causing organizations to struggle to provide the necessary security, convenience and compliance for user access. These organizations often deploy a patchwork of identity solutions – on-premise, cloud or hybrid – from different vendors that don’t work well together or don’t provide the necessary authentication services to meet their compliance needs. The result is complexity, IT overhead, organizational confusion and solutions that don’t scale or comply with regulatory requirements.
