The acquisition is a result of a long-standing relationship between the two security solutions companies and their decision to jointly pursue opportunities in the secure identification field. “We believe that we are now positioned as a leader in the rapidly growing market for secure issuance of corporate and national ID credentials. The combined organizations create the foundation to assure that materials are secure, that the process of issuing a credential is not subject to fraud, and that the resulting product is highly tamper-proof,” stated Denis Hébert, president and CEO of HID Global. Controlled access to materials, intelligent hardware that notifies authorities of misuse, and other enhanced process security features will set a new standard for performance in the industry.
