HID Global's WorkforceID Authentication System for Employee Verification
In today's hybrid work environments, where employees need secure and seamless access from multiple environments, the WorkforceID Authentication solution by HID Global offers a robust solution. This Enterprise Identity and Access Management (IAM) platform is designed to provide strong, convenient, and secure authentication for workforce and contractor digital identities.
Key Features and Benefits
The WorkforceID Authentication solution stands out with its multi-factor authentication (MFA) and biometric support. It supports biometrics such as fingerprint and facial recognition, reducing reliance on passwords and lowering the risk from lost credentials or unauthorized sharing.
Another significant advantage is its passwordless and password-reset capabilities. By enabling biometric-first processes and digital identity verification, WorkforceID simplifies authentication workflows and reduces password reset help desk calls.
The solution is cloud-based and scalable, allowing it to centralize and integrate physical access and IT identity systems. This means that employees can access facilities, networks, and services through mobile credentials or smart cards with ease.
Enhanced security against credential theft is another key benefit. The use of biometric authentication combined with government-issued ID checks helps defend against phishing, social engineering, and credential theft while maintaining user privacy and regulatory compliance.
The WorkforceID Authentication solution also improves user experience and operational efficiency. Automating identity verification and account recovery cuts down resolution times and support burdens, providing frictionless user access that matches the needs of a hybrid work environment.
Flexible integration and identity assurance are other notable features. WorkforceID fits into existing infrastructure for physical access control and digital onboarding, delivering trusted identities for people moving between remote and onsite work locations.
Seamless Integration and Recognition
The WorkforceID Authentication solution easily integrates with Microsoft's on-premise Active Directory (AD) or cloud-based Azure AD. It joins a suite of employee ID badging, visitor management, and other trusted workforce identity solutions.
HID Global was recently recognized as the overall top challenger in the KuppingerCole Leadership Compass for Enterprise Authentication Solutions report. Millions of people use HID products and services in their everyday lives, and the solutions enable convenient access to physical and digital places.
