HID Crescendo Smart Cards and Security Keys For MFA

HID Crescendo® 2300 Cards and Keys provide organizations with seamless and secure employee authentication, ensuring that only authorized people can access sensitive information. Enabling organizations to implement Zero Trust security architecture, Crescendo can be used as a corporate badge that protects access to facilities as well as a means to protect access to digital enterprise resources. Crescendo is designed to be easy and fast to deploy while adapting to continuously evolving security needs thanks to proven standards such as FIDO2 and PKI.

HID® Crescendo® authenticators provide organizations with high assurance digital credentials by leveraging certified cryptography in accordance with NIST high authenticator assurance level SP800-63 IAL2 / IAL3. A strong identity is the foundation of zero trust security and helps organizations protect personal and corporate data as well as meet regulatory requirements.

Crescendo authenticators can be used by themselves and can also be managed by HID’s solutions, for organizations deploying security at scale. HID Crescendo 2300 Series are good for:

• Healthcare organizations that are looking to provide their employees with one credential that will take care of both physical and logical access needs (converged access)
• High-tech companies with a mobile-based workforce using laptops rather than desktops (i.e. security keys will be more convenient to use)
• Government contractors that want to take advantage of security protocols and standards such as PKI, FIDO, and OATH in order to meet industry regulations
• Manufacturing businesses looking for a combined credential + credential management solution approach
• Security-minded corporations where IT is working migrate to a password-less environment
