HID Takes Top Spot in Technology Excellence in 2024 IoT Identity & Access Management Rankings

In a major recognition of its industry leadership, HID has been recognized as the top leader in technology excellence in the QKS Group’s 2024 SPARK Matrix™ for IoT Identity & Access Management (IoT IAM). This announcement is a testament to HID’s continued excellence in providing innovative and robust solutions for customers securing IoT environments.

The QKS Group’s SPARK Matrix™ is a highly respected analysis that evaluates top vendors across multiple dimensions, including technology excellence and customer impact. With the rapid expansion of IoT ecosystems across industries such as energy, healthcare and critical infrastructure, managing the identities and access of devices has become crucial. HID’s capabilities stood out in this highly competitive space, due to their ability to provide seamless integration, strong security features, and comprehensive identity and access management tools.

Why HID Stands Out in IoT IAM

HID earned its position as a leader thanks to its exceptional ability to deliver strong security features, seamless system integration, and advanced management tools that provide secure and efficient identity verification and access control for IoT devices.

One standout feature of HID’s IoT IAM solution is its readiness for post-quantum cryptography. As the industry prepares for the future, HID is poised to provide customers advanced protection with PQC certificates when the time comes on top of the automated certificate management tools clients have come to know and love. The platform also enables organizations to scale their IoT security without needing extensive knowledge in public key infrastructure (PKI) or identity access management systems, making it a versatile option for enterprises of all sizes. 

The Growing Importance of IoT IAM

With the increasing adoption of IoT devices in business operations, the need for strong identity and access management has never been greater. QKS Group’s SPARK Matrix™ identifies several key trends in the IoT IAM market, such as the rise of Zero Trust security models, automated certificate lifecycle management, and the convergence of IAM with Privileged Access Management (PAM). These trends highlight the need for more robust security solutions to manage the complexities of IoT environments.

HID’s IoT offerings address these trends by providing secure, scalable, and future-proof solutions. As industries evolve and IoT networks expand, the ability to protect the integrity and confidentiality of connected systems will remain a top priority. HID is well-positioned to lead this charge, ensuring organizations can safeguard their operations with cutting-edge security solutions.
