Credential Management - Digital Certificate Authentication - ActivIdentity

Credential Management

Business Drivers for Credential Management

  • More Sophisticated Hackers:  50% of data breaches exploit stolen or weak credentials
  • Increasing Network Breaches: 63% of security experts polled in April 2011 witnessed successful network intrusions in the past year
  • Ineffective passwords: Static passwords are ineffective; broader use of strong authentication and multiple layers of defense are necessary to inhibit the compromise of credentials

The ActivIdentity ActivID product suite consists of the ActivIdentity ActivID™ Card Management System and two add-on modules: ActivIdentity ActivID™ Batch Management System and ActivIdentity ActivID™ Identity Registration System. The ActivID Card Management System (CMS) enables organizations to securely issue and manage digital credentials on devices and securely update applications and credentials post issuance. For a rapidly deployed PIN management and smart card issuance solution, the ActivIdentity ActivID™ CMS Appliance is easy to use and provides accelerated time to benefit. The ActivID Batch Management System enables communication with a service bureau for personalization and the encoding of smart cards in centralized, high-volume card production environments. The ActivID Identity Registration System extends the basic enrollment functionality of ActivID CMS for organizations that need to comply with more advanced PIV standards.
