The identity security and access management product company HID has launched HID Integration Service. The company describes it as a platform-as-a-service (IPaaS) was aimed at application developers, integrators and software vendors for integrating physical security, streamlining processes and aiding inter-operability of products.
The firm also seeks to ease the burden of maintenance and upgrades associated with managing and implementing integrations between physical security and cybersecurity systems, thereby lowering costs, the firm adds.
Martin Ladstaetter, senior vice president and head of Identity and Access Management Solutions at HID said: “Organizations have long struggled with brittle, complex integrations and the costs to maintain them. HID Integration Service eliminates these pain points by providing an integration platform that connects physical and digital security products, reducing time to market for development partners who are building the next generation of security solutions with greater speed, quality, resilience and value.”
HID has a few early adopters on the platform. Luke Rettstatt, chief executive officer of CloudCard said: “We envision a world where ID photos magically arrive in their intended location without human intervention. To realize this vision, we must develop and maintain many integrations, which is daunting for a small team. HID Integration Service allows us to focus on RemotePhoto’s AI workflow rather than building and maintaining certified integrations with third parties.”
The product firm points to its 2025 State of Security and Identity Report. According to the report, most, 67 per cent of security leaders are actively transitioning to software-driven security solutions, with nearly three-quarters of organizations considering unified data collection critical to their operations.
