GEC NEWS WIREHID Global helps simplify access to critical data for retailers and enterprise organizations with authentication solutions for Microsoft Office 365
HID Global is collaborating with Microsoft to make enhanced cloud app security as simple and convenient as tapping a smart card to a laptop, tablet, smartphone and other NFC-based mobile devices.
Ian Lowe, Senior Manager of Product Marketing, Identity Assurance with HID Global said, “We continue to explore many new opportunities with Microsoft to bring ActivID Tap Authentication to a growing range of users and applications.”
“The combination of HID Global’s ActivID Tap Authentication solution and Microsoft’s Active Directory Federated Services (ADFS) will help our retail and other customers make it easier for their users to access corporate cloud applications, data and services anywhere, at any time, from the mobile device of their choice, with the same smart card they use to open doors.” said Jen Field, Senior Program Manager with Microsoft.
Introduced in April, ActivID Tap Authentication for Microsoft is powered by Seos® and tightly integrated with Windows Server 2012 R2 Active Directory Federation Services and the HID Global Authentication Cloud Service. It supports Microsoft Windows 7 laptops and desktops, Android™-based tablets and other mobile devices via NFC.
