HID Global, global provider of trusted identity solutions, has 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 organisations to struggle to provide the necessary security, convenience and compliance for user access. These organisations 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, organisational confusion and solutions that don’t scale or comply with regulatory requirements.
