HID Global is continuing to innovate their product line to support emerging technologies in the Microsoft ecosystem. The latest solution called  ActivID® Tap Authentication™is the industry’s first solution for secure, fast, easy authentication to Microsoft® Office356 and other cloud-based apps, such as Salesforce.com, from your Android™phone or Windows® tablet or laptop. This solution is the first of its kind, because it uses the devices integrated NFC reader to authenticate to the card, making ActivID Tap user authentication simple, convenient and cost-effective while adding two-factor authentication to increase security over simple user name and password authentication. Now you can Simply Tap™the card to the employee’s device to access the applications and services you need to do your daily work.

The solution connects and verifies users in the cloud via a Microsoft Active Directory Federated Services (ADFS) plug-in and HID Global’s Authentication Cloud Service, eliminating the need for on-premise hardware or service contracts to maintain. The user experience is secure and easy to use, and addresses the problem many companies are faced with in today’s BYOD environment.

ActivID® Tap Authentication™utilizes HID Global’s newest and most secure card technology known as SEOS. The SEOS platform is ideal for corporations who are looking to offer their employees the most secure technology with the freedom to leverage the credentials in future applications, either on a PVC card or digitally for mobile access control.
