HID® Crescendo®: Unlock doors, data and your business applications
HID offers enterprises the opportunity to address unique and diverse use cases and ensure a future-proof approach to authentication, whether FIDO is already part of their strategy or something they plan on gradually bringing to part of their workforce. Offering the best user experience without compromising on security is key, and most of the time it starts by offering the right security for the right user. To achieve that, enterprises need to work with a vendor that not only has the technology to address a variety of use cases, but also the experience to manage transitions and multi-technology environments.
HID is an end-to-end FIDO provider – we offer authenticators (methods and form factors), contact and contactless readers able to read FIDO authenticators, and backend authentication through the Authentication Platform; we provide device-bound passkeys and enable platform-synchronized, or “synced” passkeys.
