Identity and Access Convergence Takes Another Step Forward
We’ve seen Imprivata fire the first salvo. Cisco is dancing around the idea. And now Privaris is teaming up with RSA to tackle the need for a practical deployment of physical and logical access control.
This partnership fills a need in the $140 billion physical security industry which is ripe for multi-use authentication devices. Combining plusID from Privaris with 
SecureID from RSA means that the pipe dream of integrated security may now be a reality for the thousands of large corporate campuses needing more efficient and effective identity and access management.
Imprivata, Privaris, RSA/EMC, Made4biz, Gemalto…the identity and access convergence solutions are growing in technological sophistication, marketing savvy, and customer adoption. Have you used one of these solutions yet? Why not? I guess you are afraid to save money and improve security? I mean it, heck, just cutting down on tailgating through entry doors is enough of a benefit – improving security and producing better audit data.
