Products and services

HID® Risk Management Solution HID® Risk Management Solution is a threat and fraud detection solution using a real-time risk profiling technology that protects financial institutions against cybercriminals. It empowers financial institutions to protect transparently their end-users but also to ensure that their corporate data against threats, also known as zero-day threats, that target online and mobile banking, transaction systems and sensitive applications. A combination of evidence based threat detection capabilities, anomaly detection and behavioral biometrics supported by machine learning makes a perfect fit for combating the ever-changing threat landscape of modern banking applications.

HID® Risk Management Solution uniquely embeds three different engines (behavioral biometrics, transaction anomaly detection and threat detection) to evaluate the risk in a more comprehensive and precise manner. It quantifies risk level with digital identity sensing technology, a unique set of device fingerprinting and user identification techniques. This makes the solution able to detect with a high level of accuracy a broad range of risks financial organisations are facing.

This solution can be deployed on premise or in the cloud, requiring virtually none or very simple integration which makes the deployment easy and fast.

In addition, HID® Risk Management Solution provides a comprehensive dashboard helping organisations to improve efficiency by presenting a single view of the general trend of threat as well as the ability to follow specific device, user or session and detect attacks in a timely manner.

HID® Risk Management Solution associated with HID® Multi-Factor Authentication portfolio delivers to banks a risk based authentication turnkey solution bringing to the end users enhanced security with optimum user experience.
» More about: HID® Risk Management Solution HID® Authentication Server Platform The HID® Authentication Server Platform provides a multi-layered, versatile and integrated authentication platform for banks and organisations with risk appropriate and cost-effective user authentication. It offers an adaptive security strategy from anywhere and from any device that goes beyond simple passwords. The Appliance offers a layered approach that enables banks to tailor the authentication method (e.g. strong password) and authenticator (e.g. hardware/soft token or smart card) to specific user groups and risk levels.

This approach addresses banks' customer needs by allowing them to conveniently and securely access their accounts, online or on their mobile phones. It can also be used for employee security to protect VPN access, cloud-based applications and web applications. By doing so, the solution assists financial institutions in maintaining the right level of users' trust while providing support when accessing their accounts. Additionally, it reduces operational costs, minimizing the expense of building and maintaining multiple authentication infrastructures in order to meet different set of needs. The platform allows deploying authentication on all banking channels: online and mobile banking, ATM, branch, Point of Sales and call centers.

HID® Authentication Server Platform also allows organisations to be compliant with the growing number of regulations requiring Multi-Factor Authentication or Risk Based Authentication (PSD2, HKMA, 23 NYCRR 500, …). In practical terms, this means three things: one, proving that the user is who they claim to be (authentication); two, ensuring that the user's access to resources and services is limited to what they are authorised for (authorisation); and three, keeping a trustworthy record of what the user does (audit). The HID® Authentication Server offers SOAP, SAMLv2, OpenID Connect and RADIUS APIs to easily integrate with VPN, cloud and web-based applications and protect those efficiently.

HID® Authentication Server Platform is available as a software stack for maximum integration flexibility for the customer, as a virtual or hardware appliance to shorten the deployment time but also as a cloud service for ease of integration and maintenance and for financial flexibility.

Ultimately, banks and other financial institutions are founded on a trust model that underpins each organisation's relationships with its customers. The ActivID Appliance protects brand reputation by safeguarding customer data from unauthorised access and offers risk-appropriate solutions to reduce the threat of fraud, all without affecting customer experience.
» More about: HID® Authentication Server Platform HID® Tokens Portfolio HID Global offers a broad range of hardware (ActivID® One-Time Password Tokens) and software (HID® Approve™) tokens to provide to the customer the maximum flexibility depending on the use cases and the end-customers.
HID® Approve™ is a next-generation multi-factor authentication solution that combines the security of public key-based cryptography with the convenience of mobile push notifications. HID Approve delivers a simple and secure way for users to authenticate and to verify and digitally sign their transactions. It is available on iOS, Android and Windows 10 as a stand-alone application or an SDK.

HID® Approve™ provides:

- A Trusted Identity - Assurance that the person taking the digital action, like accessing a VPN or verifying a withdrawal, is the person authorized to do so
- A Seamless Experience - The user interface is simple, intuitive, and powerful
- A Flexible Policy Customization - Fine grained security policies enable organizations to strike the appropriate balance between security and usability
- Easy Rebranding - Organizations can easily brand the icon and interface with their own logo and color schemes
- Robust Security - It integrates mobile application security tools like Anti-debugger, anti-cloning, RASP (Runtime Application Self-Protection), Code Obfuscation, etc. and follows security best practices, backed by third-party penetration tests and independent audit reviews.

ActivID® One-Time Password (OTP) Tokens from HID Global go beyond simple, static passwords to provide organizations an easy way to increase trust in a user's identity and grant them appropriate access. When users need access to a network, system or cloud-based application, they simply use the combination of something they know (e.g. a PIN number) with the randomly generated, one-time password from their OTP Token to gain access.

With ActivID® One-Time Password Tokens, organisations benefits from:

- Enhance security: ActivID® OTP Tokens go beyond static passwords, enabling multi-factor authentication to increase confidence in online transactions.
- Increase productivity: Enhance user convenience by providing end-users a convenient experience and secure access to their data anytime, anywhere.
