Latin America. HID Global introduced a simplified, subscription-based access model to its comprehensive suite of identity and access management (IAM) software and services, technology that helps organizations combat cybercrime.
Today business cybersecurity has become a fundamental issue in organizations and it is not for less, the loss of information or assets can represent irreparable damage to entities.
In addition, cyberattacks are becoming more frequent around the world; in 2017, for example, 677 million computer attacks were registered in Latin America, 59% more than in 2016. According to these figures, delivered by the company Nova Red, an average of 117 cyberattacks were reached for every 60 minutes in the region.
This is how the technological tools available to security acquire more importance in these hyperconnected environments; for example, one of the defense mechanisms that experts recommend to deal with these vulnerabilities is to fine-tune authentication. HID Global has launched ActivOne™, a digital ID and authentication and management solution for large organizations that protects the identity of individuals, sensitive data and high-value assets, with the flexibility offered by a subscription model.
"Businesses understand that it is no longer possible to rely on password-based authentication solutions. This tool offers robust multidimensional authentication solutions to help secure access to an organization's network, on-premises applications, in the cloud, and to desktop/laptop computers," said Brad Jarvis, vice president and executive director, Identity and Access Management Solutions (IAM Solutions), HID Global.
Currently, the management of digital identifications is the axis of the protection of computer security and multidimensional authentication is a fundamental component of robust access management solutions.
Beyond protecting internal systems, HID ActivOne offers secure access to networks, applications, and data, as well as virtual private networks (VPNs) when working outside the office; it also ensures that users requesting access are who they say they are, whether they work on-site or remotely, or are employees or contractors.
This tool also processes the signature and encryption of emails and documents; it also ensures the protected authorization of transactions and has a wide range of secure authenticators, among others, mobile phones and smart IDENTIFICATION cards.
The ActivOne solution includes professional services that work hand in hand with organizations to design and implement solutions that meet corporate needs while integrating with the particular architectural demands of enterprise hybrid computing environments.
"HID's ActivOne is leading the industry by providing a comprehensive solution for digital ID lifecycle management, as well as advanced authentication, with a simple charge-per-user model," said Brad Jarvis. "The fact that it is a subscription model means that enterprise customers have more options due to the additional flexible pricing options that open up the possibilities of HID's IAM solutions to an even larger number of users," he concluded.
