Future of secure identity and access control

Visit HID at booth #8053 and Mercury™ at booth #27109, where attendees will have the opportunity to experience this shift firsthand, and see the future of secure identity and access control in action:

HID Signo™ Readers: Versatile, Secure, and Future-Ready

Reader, a multi-factor authentication key meeting FIPS-201 compliance and NIST 800-116 guidelines

The flagship HID Signo Readers offer unparalleled versatility, supporting a broad range of credential technologies—including cards, fobs, digital wallets, and government-issued credentials like PIV, CAC, and TWIC. 

Designed for modern workplaces and high-security environments, the portfolio now includes the new HID Signo PIV Contact Reader, a multi-factor authentication solution meeting FIPS-201 compliance and NIST 800-116 guidelines. When integrated with Mercury MP4502 controllers, it delivers high-assurance security for U.S. Federal Government entities and organizations managing single facilities or global networks.

New! Mercury Embedded Application Environment: Scalable, Interoperable, and Empowering 

The Mercury embedded application environment is an open platform that enables OEMs and technology partners to develop and deploy custom applications directly on Mercury MP Controllers.

Unlike traditional access controllers that rely on server-based logic and are limited in upstream system connections, this platform brings real-time logic processing to the edge, reducing latency, increasing availability, and enhancing system redundancy. 

New! HID Integration Service: Streamlined Connectivity and Enhanced Interoperability

This integration platform-as-a-service (IPaaS) was designed to empower application developers, solution integrators, and software vendors to seamlessly and rapidly integrate essential physical security solutions, solving the industry-wide struggle with managing third-party integrations.

New! OMNIKEY SE Plug Reader 

OMNIKEY SE Plug supports passkeys and other MFA methods for enhanced security

Revolutionize logical access with a cable-free reader that provides secure, passwordless authentication for mobile professionals. Ideal for hybrid workplaces (like healthcare, retail, law enforcement and other enterprise environments), it ensures your workforce has seamless access to corporate resources from any location – whether in the field, while working remote or when traveling. 

This versatile reader offers multi-device compatibility — working effortlessly with smartphones, tablets, and laptops using a USB-C interface. OMNIKEY SE Plug supports passkeys and other multi-factor authentication (MFA) methods for enhanced security against phishing and credential theft.

HID Mobile Access: The Future of Secure, Contactless Authentication

HID Mobile Access solutions leverage smartphones and wearables for secure, convenient, and touchless authentication, making them ideal for any environment where access control is needed, including workplaces, universities, commercial real estate, financial institutions, and more.

Streamline management with the HID Origo™ portal, centralizing user management and integrating seamlessly with access control systems. Reduce the need for physical encoding, printing, and returns, and embrace a future where access control is simple and efficient.

HID Linq™: Smart Device Management and Real-Time Insights

HID Linq tool provides real-time device state reporting and remote configuration

HID will demonstrate the powerful HID Linq tool platform, designed for seamless device management through Mercury controllers and HID Signo readers. 

The HID Linq tool provides real-time device state reporting, remote configuration and adjustments capability, as well as seamless firmware updates.

HID FARGO HPD5000e printer: High-quality, Personalized Retransfer Technology

Making its ISC West debut, the printer was engineered for universities, medium-to-large businesses, healthcare facilities, and government agencies who need retransfer printing technology to effectively personalize contactless cards and for any organization looking to switch from a higher-end, direct-to-card printer to a retransfer printing solution for improved image quality.
