SANTA ANA, Calif. and ISMANING, Germany, November 19, 2012 (euro adhoc) -
Identive Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: INVE; Frankfurt: INV), a provider of solutions and
services for the identification, security and RFID industries, today announced
that it has been selected by a U.S. federal agency within the Department of
Homeland Security to implement its Hirsch-branded access control and security
management systems at the agency's more than 200 locations nationwide.
Identive's systems will secure entry and exit points at the agency's facilities
and provide secure work environments for agency employees.
The DHS agency selected Identive based on the company's strong reputation as a
provider of security solutions to the U.S. government and the fact that
Identive's access control systems support simultaneous use of the wide variety
of federally-issued access credentials currently in use. This includes Personal
Identity Verification (PIV) cards used by federal employees, Common Access Cards
(CAC) used by military personnel, as well as other, agency-specific credentials.
Support for the array of federal ID credentials allows the agency to become
compliant with federal standards and mandates governing secure authentication
and access, such as FIPS-201 and OMB M 11-11. In addition, the Identive solution
is designed to allow updates and integration to additional agency and federal
systems and databases as future standards and requirements emerge.
"We have collaborated with this DHS agency over the last several years to
develop the right combination of software, equipment and services to address the
varied requirements of their dispersed locations. The success of this effort and
the trust it has engendered were key to the agency's selection of Identive's
security systems nationwide. By working with Identive as their sole solutions
provider, the agency will achieve higher levels of interoperability while
minimizing implementation time, training requirements and total system cost,"
said Lars Suneborn, Director Government & Standards for Identive's Identity
Management & Cloud Solutions division. "We are pleased to add this agency to the
growing list of U.S. intelligence, law enforcement and diplomatic customers that
have standardized on Identive's systems to protect their facilities."
The Identive access control and security management systems selected by this DHS
agency are marketed under the company's Hirsch brand and include Velocity
management software, DIGI*TRAC controllers, and patented ScramblePad® readers.
The systems will be delivered and installed over a four-year period through
Identive's national network of channel partners.
