Thu, 17 Apr 2008 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.actividentity.com/en/newsroom/display_news_article.php?aid=93 The potential benefits for any large organisation of using smart card technologies are immense, encompassing reduced security risk exposure, increased efficiency, improved compliance and better access to services for all. Despite these benefits, misconceptions over smart cards mean they are still not being embraced as widely as they should. But wh Fri, 4 Apr 2008 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.actividentity.com/en/newsroom/display_news_article.php?aid=92 The bank chose the ActivIdentity Smart Employee ID solution to secure access to over 300 sensitive applications by more than 100,000 employees, and to secure numerous facilities without impacting on usability and convenience. The ActivIdentity Smart Employee ID functions as a photo ID and a proximity badge for facility access, as well as an IT security device for digital identification and authentication. Thu, 3 Apr 2008 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.actividentity.com/en/newsroom/display_news_article.php?aid=91 Eleven financial institutions and enterprises throughout the world have implemented the security device. Five of the deployments are already live, six are still in production for distribution to consumers in Q2 2008. The ICT DisplayCard has been selected by consumers to authenticate online banking, online brokerage, ATM and phone transactions at four financial institutions. Sat, 5 Apr 2008 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.actividentity.com/en/newsroom/display_news_article.php?aid=90 IDC research shows that regulatory compliance initiatives are rapidly becoming part of larger corporate GRC strategies. Security compliance and control solutions play a key role in enforcing corporate governance - a relationship that would seem obvious but often goes unrecognized. In addition to the widely publicized Sarbanes-Oxley, Basel II, and HIPAA regulations, a number of other important government mandates continue to evolve worldwide, creating a dizzying maze of regulations and IT implementations that are difficult to assess, manage, and maintain on a global basis. Fri, 28 Mar 2008 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.actividentity.com/en/newsroom/display_news_article.php?aid=89 Innovative Card Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:INVC), developers of the breakthrough ICT DisplayCard security device for e-banking, e-commerce and data access, today announced 11 deployments of the ICT DisplayCard by leading financial institutions (F.I.) and enterprises in the U.S. and internationally. This is the company's second year exhibiting at the RSA Conference, the largest security show in the U.S Mon, 31 Mar 2008 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.actividentity.com/en/newsroom/display_news_article.php?aid=88 Deloitte Ireland will begin facilitating secure remote and office-based access through the use of a strong certificate-based, two-factor authentication solution from ActivIdentity. Deloitte Ireland is using the ActivIdentity solution to provide more than 900 employees with secure remote access to I.T. systems across the firm’s locations in Dublin, Cork and Limerick. Thu, 20 Mar 2008 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.actividentity.com/en/newsroom/display_news_article.php?aid=87 Deloitte Ireland has introduced two-factor authentication from ActivIdentity to secure access to its IT systems.

It incorporates the ActivID Card Management System. The new system will replace static passwords and multiple-employee smart cards with a single card to provide staff with secure access to their networks from any location in the world. Wed, 19 Mar 2008 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.actividentity.com/en/newsroom/display_news_article.php?aid=86 ActivIdentity Corp., Fremont, Calif., and Novell Inc., Waltham, Mass., have combined products that may make it easier for corporation to use one ID card for both physical and logical access, the companies announced. Mon, 17 Mar 2008 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.actividentity.com/en/newsroom/display_news_article.php?aid=85 Brandewie explains that states that adopt REAL ID can also use the technology to deliver state-based services to the public. He would like to see citizens using smart cards in their everyday life for access to things such as taxes, social services and, ultimately, to be able to vote from home using secure credentials. “That kind of access to government records using secure identity would be something that would be a boon to the citizens as well as for government.” Sat, 1 Mar 2008 00:00:00 -0600 http://www.actividentity.com/en/newsroom/display_news_article.php?aid=84 For professional bad guys, getting into an enterprise network isn't particularly difficult. It's not even that hard for the community of amateur and recreational hackers. There are a variety of solutions available that employ one-time passwords for external access to the network. The ActivIdentity 4TRESS AAA Server and ActivIdentity Client ( Mon, 3 Mar 2008 00:00:00 -0600 http://www.actividentity.com/en/newsroom/display_news_article.php?aid=83 If you were to ask a security strategist at a leading financial institution how they might combat banking fraud and online identity theft, their response just may involve the use of a well-known picture or a personal question. And this would be inline with recommendations from the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC). Technologies that ask end-users to answer questions about a family member or to recognize a picture are accepted strategies used, along with traditional passwords, by institutions seeking good standing with FFIEC guidelines. Fri, 1 Feb 2008 00:00:00 -0600 http://www.actividentity.com/en/newsroom/display_news_article.php?aid=82 Part of the vendor's 4TRESS product line (which also includes the 4TRESS AAA Server for Remote Access and the 4TRESS Authentication SDK), 4TRESS Authentication Server is targeted primarily to financial institutions and MSPs and provides for them an authentication platform and interface enabling the centralized management and implementation of user authentication to various services and applications in the organization. Fri, 8 Feb 2008 00:00:00 -0600 http://www.actividentity.com/en/newsroom/display_news_article.php?aid=81 According to a new study by Datamonitor, only 21 percent of respondents believe that passwords alone provide sufficient protection to the enterprise. The report, “A New Look at the ROI for Enterprise Smart Cards,” surveyed more than 200 organisations on the state of passwords in the enterprise and the adoption of smart card identification. “We believe this report is an important look at the state of the smart card ID adoption curve, and aligns with trends that we are seeing in the market today,” said Thomas Jahn, CEO of ActivIdentity. Thu, 31 Jan 2008 00:00:00 -0600 http://www.actividentity.com/en/newsroom/display_news_article.php?aid=80 By Oct, 27, 2007, federal agencies were supposed to complete background checks for employees with 15 years' or less experience and begin issuing new identity cards. None met the deadline. So now what?... "The business process has to be well thought out in order to minimize the length of the interaction with each employee," says Robert Brandewie, senior vice president for public sector solutions at ActivIdentity, a Fremont, Calif.- Wed, 30 Jan 2008 00:00:00 -0600 http://www.actividentity.com/en/newsroom/display_news_article.php?aid=79 The project was started in 2005 and so far employees in 29 countries, including the UK, have been issued with Nissan ID cards. The business benefits of the system included reduced support and management costs and tighten security across the organisation, said Graham Orton, Nissan Europe's office technology and security manager. Fri, 25 Jan 2008 00:00:00 -0600 http://www.actividentity.com/en/newsroom/display_news_article.php?aid=78 To create a single Nissan ID card, Nissan Europe searched the market for a suitable solution. The team evaluated several card management software and card middleware solutions and selected ActivIdentity Smart Employee ID. It would also securely update smart cards post-issuance to add applications or credentials as Nissan’s needs evolve. Nissan Europe heard of ActivIdentity through colleagues in Japan who had used the technology in a middleware deployment in 2002. Thu, 24 Jan 2008 00:00:00 -0600 http://www.actividentity.com/en/newsroom/display_news_article.php?aid=77 The product can manage and secure wireless LANs as well as remote network locations using strong two-factor authentication policies and practices. We don’t think there is a token type that this product does not support. The 4TRESS AAA invokes the use of a one-time-password generated from a patented algorithm based on three variables. The product is built around security-rich features and can be deployed in just about any architecture. Tue, 22 Jan 2008 00:00:00 -0600 http://www.actividentity.com/en/newsroom/display_news_article.php?aid=76 Makers of information technology equipment often walk a fine line between security and convenience. If you make a product extremely secure, users might not be willing to jump through the hoops required to use it. But if you make it too convenient, security suffers — something especially unacceptable in the federal government. Our test configuration included the user station with smart-card reader, one switch and ActivClient middleware from ActivIdentity that emulated the authentication experience. Mon, 21 Jan 2008 00:00:00 -0600 http://www.actividentity.com/en/newsroom/display_news_article.php?aid=75 Precise Biometrics, which develops and sells world-leading and user-friendly biometric security solutions based on fingerprints and smart cards, has through a local distributor - Rotronics AG in Switzerland - won a follow-up order for fingerprint logon in computer systems. The solution is based on a solution from ActivIdentity that integrates Precise BioMatch, and is also utilized by users that have laptops with built-in fingerprint sensors. Fri, 21 Dec 2007 00:00:00 -0600 http://www.actividentity.com/en/newsroom/display_news_article.php?aid=74 Windows administrators have traditionally relied on passwords as a means of credential management to keep the wrong people from accessing networks and crucial data. But this is a defense whose days may be coming to a close. Passwords are easily compromised by hackers and often forgotten by users. Threats are becoming more sophisticated as networks accommodate mobile devices, and regulatory compliance standards are pushing security measures beyond this first level of defense. Tue, 6 Nov 2007 00:00:00 -0600 http://www.actividentity.com/en/newsroom/display_news_article.php?aid=73 The Actividentity system, from systems integrator Sysec Solutions, has a capital cost of £350,000, and will save an estimated £250,000 in running costs over its expected life of 10 years. The old system, installed in 1995, had become increasingly expensive to maintain, said Didier Garçon, network analyst at ECMWF. "Our old tokens expired in just three years, which meant there was an almost constant need to replace and distribute them to new users," he said. Mon, 22 Oct 2007 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.actividentity.com/en/newsroom/display_news_article.php?aid=72 European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) is replacing a proprietary authentication system with a token-based system that will allow 3,000 users in 28 countries easier access to its two 155-server IBM supercomputers at its international hub in Reading, Berkshire. Thu, 18 Oct 2007 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.actividentity.com/en/newsroom/display_news_article.php?aid=71 As convergence matures beyond the early, basic concepts of single access point, token, or credential the more robust challenges emerge. How do we provision the credential in a coherent, streamlined process? How do we update privileges and manage the lifecycle of the applications on that credential? How do we revoke certain privileges or an entire credential? These issues point to the real challenges surrounding convergence – the “care and feeding” of the host of enterprise-wide systems that exist within an organization. Mon, 15 Oct 2007 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.actividentity.com/en/newsroom/display_news_article.php?aid=70 The Metropolitan Police has revealed details of its investment in single sign-on (SSO) identity management software to improve the security of and access to information. Due to the wide ranging roles and responsibilities of the organisation, staff members often need to access up to 10 core and numerous other subsidiary applications on a daily basis. Fri, 28 Sep 2007 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.actividentity.com/en/newsroom/display_news_article.php?aid=69 The MPA's 50,000 employees were given access to six core systems using one password, after the full roll out was completed in March. The authority's IT infrastructure plays a large part in day-to-day policing, but the volume and complexity of log-on details can lower efficiency. Fri, 28 Sep 2007 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.actividentity.com/en/newsroom/display_news_article.php?aid=68 Quantum Secure, Inc. the leader in physical and IT security identity convergence, announced the expansion of its partner network with the additions of Oracle Corporation , Sun Microsystems Inc., and ActivIdentity to its portfolio of strategic technology partners that deliver end-to-end Identity and Access Management Solutions spanning IT and Physical Security infrastructures.

Fri, 31 Aug 2007 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.actividentity.com/en/newsroom/display_news_article.php?aid=63 Analysts at Lazard Capital initiate coverage of ActivIdentity Corporation (ticker: ACTI) with a "buy" rating. The target price is set to $7. In a research note published yesterday, the analysts mention that by 2010, the markets addressed by the company would be worth $2.2 billion. ActivIdentity’s revenues are likely to rise 19% in FY07 and 21% in FY08, being favourably impacted by the company’s solid positioning in the US government programmes and its strategic alliances with large-cap software companies, the analysts say. Thu, 16 Aug 2007 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.actividentity.com/en/newsroom/display_news_article.php?aid=62 Although HSPD-12 cards have to meet specific standards, agencies also can add features that can extend the cards' usefulness and leverage their cost. "There is plenty of room for agencies to be creative and use the digital signature capabilities of the card or implement new business applications," says Rob Brandewie, senior vice president for public sector solutions at ActivIdentity. For example, the cards can be used to allow for digital signatures or single sign-on using less complex passwords. Wed, 1 Aug 2007 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.actividentity.com/en/newsroom/display_news_article.php?aid=61 ActivIdentity (ACTI) on Tuesday posted a net loss of $2.7 million or $0.06 per share, narrower than $5.3 million or a loss of $0.12 per share in the prior year quarter.

Tue, 12 Jun 2007 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.actividentity.com/en/newsroom/display_news_article.php?aid=49 Few companies have used smart cards for PC security, though, because it wasn't economical to have one card for PCs and one for building access, says Ed MacBeth, senior marketing VP at ActivIdentity, a provider of smart card software. But advanced smart cards now allow, on a single card, the storage of passwords and other data, such as building-entry credentials. Thu, 31 May 2007 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.actividentity.com/en/newsroom/display_news_article.php?aid=47 With reports of security breaches increasingly in the news, commercial and government organisations recognising the critical need to strengthen IT security are often turning to cards, tokens and new software solutions.
