Strong, Modern Authentication for a Hybrid Workforce

ADVANTIDGE helps organizations protect their people, facilities, and data with end-to-end identity and access solutions. HID Crescendo FIDO Credentials is one of the most versatile, standards-based tools available for securing workforce access across computers, networks, cloud applications, and physical environments.

Built on proven PIV and FIDO2 standards, Crescendo Credentials give enterprises a future-proof authentication method that’s fast to deploy, easy for employees to use, and aligned with today’s cybersecurity mandates.

Why Crescendo FIDO Keys

The Crescendo Key Series brings smart-card-level authentication into a compact, reader-less form factor using USB-A, USB-C, and NFC. Employees get seamless two-factor and passwordless logon, while IT gains a hardened, phishing-resistant credential that works across modern and legacy environments.

As hybrid and remote work expand attack surfaces, organizations need authentication that’s simple, scalable, and impossible to compromise through social engineering. Crescendo Keys deliver exactly that.

FIDO2: Critical for the Next Generation of Security

Microsoft Entra ID now supports FIDO2 passkeys natively, making phishing-resistant, passwordless authentication unavoidable for any organization serious about security. HID Crescendo supports both FIDO2 keys and certificate-based authenticators, ensuring compatibility with current and future IAM strategies.

FIDO2 credentials are available as both keys and cards, and ADVANTIDGE maintains one of the widest selections of FIDO solutions through partnerships with the industry’s leading manufacturers.

Smooth Transition for Every Environment

Organizations are rarely starting from scratch. ADVANTIDGE helps IT teams evolve their authentication stack without disrupting users or existing infrastructure.

By combining HID Crescendo FIDO Keys with DigitalPersona or CMS software, organizations can:

  • Authenticate to Windows machines using existing prox cards

  • Add advanced factors like FIDO2, OTP, fingerprint, or facial recognition

  • Transition from on-prem to hybrid or cloud environments on their own timeline

  • Maintain compliance without slowing down operations
