SANTA ANA, Calif., and ISMANING, Germany, February 7, 2012 (euro adhoc) -
Identive Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: INVE; Frankfurt: INV), a provider of products and
services for the identification, security and RFID industries, today announced
that it has provided the Dutch Ministry of Defense (MoD) with 59,500 SmartFold
smart card readers that enable secure access to the ministry´s computer network
for MoD employees working remotely.
The Dutch MoD selected the Identive readers based on their security and
flexibility. Much of the information being accessed from the ministry´s network
is restricted or sensitive, which creates specific policy requirements for how
the data must be managed. The SmartFold readers fit easily into the MoD´s
existing network security infrastructure and allow remote PCs to unlock
applications and data with the same level of security as internal workstations.
Technology solutions provider SCC, Identive´s distribution partner in the
Netherlands, assisted the Dutch MoD in selecting the SmartFold readers.
Dr. Manfred Mueller, executive vice president of Identive Group and managing
director of the Company´s ID Infrastructure division said, "We are pleased that
the Dutch Ministry of Defense has standardized on an Identive smart card reader
for remote network access. We are also pleased to add The Netherlands to the
growing list of more than 30 government customers for which we provide solutions
to help protect their IT assets."
The SmartFold SCR3500 mini USB reader is a fully ISO7816 compliant contact smart
card reader suitable for a wide range of application areas for government,
enterprise and home use. Due to its small design, the SmartFold reader is ideal
for remote access applications.
