Probaris offers end-to-end identity solutions based on Probaris ID™ and bundled partner offerings such as biometric capture devices, card management software, and Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) certificates and services. Probaris' identity solutions can be purchased via an enterprise license or as a managed service. The enterprise solution is installed and hosted at the customer facility, while a third-party partner hosts the Probaris Identity as a Service (IDaaS) offering. The cloud-based Probaris IDaaS™ offers a quick and easy means for deploying an end-to-end solution for smart card and mobile credentials.
Deployment of strong authentication solutions based on the PIV and PIV-I standards are among the most effective means to protect employees, networks, systems, data and enterprise reputation. The ongoing and increasing high profile cyber attacks against defense contractors, federal agencies, utilities, transportation facilities and financial institutions have raised the urgency to secure critical information and infrastructure.
The latest enhancements to Probaris ID™ allow for use of the software in issuing the strongest forms of identity (Level 4 Crypto, PIV, PIV-I), as well as, other levels of identity within the same standards compliant issuance framework. Probaris ID™ 4.0 can also issue identities to a wide range of form factors including smart phones.
The use of intelligent mobile devices to access enterprise data, services and systems is growing and changing at an unparalleled pace. Enabling the secure use of these devices has moved to the top of the agenda for IT and security professionals. Today's cyber and physical environments require that the strongest forms of identity and authentication be used on these devices to maintain the operational efficiencies and business continuity of the enterprise, and in doing so, protect its intellectual property. Probaris ID™ 4.0 provides the enterprise with the foundational capability to build an identity, credential, access management, and security solution capable of meeting today's complex cybersecurity challenges.
