What is HID authentication?
HID authentication is a secure identity management system that can be deployed either in the cloud or on-premise, facilitating multi-factor authentication (MFA) to safeguard both digital and physical assets. It offers phishing-resistant, passwordless solutions such as FIDO2, biometrics, and push notifications via HID Approve to authenticate users.
Key Aspects of HID Authentication:
- HID Authentication Service: A cloud-based service that provides high-assurance, adaptive risk-based authentication for industries like banking and government.
- HID Approve: A mobile application that provides real-time, push-based MFA, allowing users to approve access requests via a simple swipe.
- Authentication Methods: Supports smart cards (HID Crescendo), one-time passwords (OTP), and mobile push notifications.
- HID DigitalPersona: Provides strong authentication for desktop and network access, including support for biometric authentication.
This solution allows organizations to enforce strong, compliant security policies while providing a user-friendly experience.
