Marketwired
ActivIdentity Corporation (NASDAQ: ACTI), a global leader in strong
authentication and credential management, today announced its new
convergence technology, the F5 PAC Solution with API, and a FIPS
201 Partner Program to offer government agencies and commercial
enterprises integrated security management capabilities for
physical and logical access control. Through this program,
ActivIdentity, along with its physical access control vendor
partners, will offer the industry's only solution that meets
government mandates of full FIPS 201/SP800-116 compliance, managed
entirely through the PACS manufacturers interface.
As a compelling business value offering, this Partner Program
provides the new ActivIdentity F5 Solution with API for integration
by PACS manufacturers. The API provides a cost-effective approach
for manufacturers to PIV-enable their access control systems,
allowing certified partners to meet all the criteria to be on the
GSA Approved Products List (APL) under all authentication system
categories.
ActivIdentity FIPS 201 F5 is the only solution on the market
that delivers complete SP800-116 compliance the industry demands.
The integrated solution provides a seamless and transparent module
to authenticate PIV credentials at any of the specified assurance
levels for controlled, limited and exclusion areas.
"Manufacturers have looked to us for help in developing
cost-effective access control and credential management solutions
for their government agency and government contractor customers to
meet the new government mandates for PIV," said Todd Freyman,
director, government markets worldwide, ActivIdentity.
"Our FIPS 201 F5 Solution combines the unique approach of
delivering compliance with today's standards while providing an
economical upgrade path to adapt to evolving government-mandated
standards. The F5 Module component of the solution can be field
upgraded with updates pushed out from the head-end to all devices
on the network, and it maintains full offline functionality,"
explained Freyman.
The Partner Program also includes the industry-leading
credential issuance and management products from ActivIdentity,
ActivID™ CMS and ActivClient™. ActivIdentity partners can now
deliver fully integrated physical and logical access control
solutions including credential issuance and management for PIV,
PIV-Interoperable (PIV-I), PIV-Compliant (PIV-C), as well as custom
certificate-based credentials for government and enterprise with
ActivIdentity's F5 integration and the new CMS appliance.
ActivIdentity is partnering with leading manufacturers in the
industry and physical access control systems enabled by the
ActivIdentity F5 solution are currently being installed at multiple
government agencies, including federal, state, and local facilities
across the country, the U.S. Department of Defense and maritime
port facilities.
Kaba Access Control developed its E-Plex 5800 Series locks and
stand-alone access controllers by becoming an ActivIdentity
partner. "Our E-Plex 5800 Series lock and stand-alone access
controller products are compliant with FIPS 201 and listed on the
GSA APL for purchase by the government after they were enabled to
enroll and authenticate PIV credentials by integrating and
embedding ActivIdentity's FIPS 201 Head-end Developer's Bundle,"
said Mark Allen, director of marketing, Kaba Access Control.
Galaxy Control Systems has also selected the ActivIdentity FIPS
201 F5 Solution for their PIV credential strong authentication and
compliance needs. "As Galaxy continues to build upon its DOD DIACAP
Certified PIV Solution we decided early on that ActivIdentity was
clearly the leader in strong authentication and credential
management. Within one day of installing the hardware component, we
were up and running with a fully compliant, integrated solution.
This is the kind of technological breakthrough our customers expect
and now we can meet their expectations with a trusted and proven
deliverable," said Rick Caruthers, executive vice president, Galaxy
Control Systems.
Availability The ActivIdentity FIPS 201 F5
API and FIPS 201 Head-end Developer Bundle are available now.
