HID has announced the launch of HID Integration Service, a platform that integrates physical security, cybersecurity and digital identity management.

This integration platform-as-a-service (IPaaS) was designed to empower application developers, solution integrators and software vendors to seamlessly and rapidly integrate essential physical security solutions, streamlining processes and enhancing system interoperability.

By doing so, the platform aims to ease the burden of maintenance and upgrades associated with managing and implementing integrations between physical security and cybersecurity systems, thereby lowering costs, streamlining operations and significantly reducing implementation time.

"Organizations have long struggled with brittle, complex integrations and the costs to maintain them," said Martin Ladstaetter, senior vice president and head of identity and access management solutions at HID. "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."
