What is HID DigitalPersona?

The HID DigitalPersona multi-factor authentication software offers a new way to provide authentication services to users. Whereas traditional 2FA/MFA solutions are stuck on “what you have/what you know”, DigitalPersona leverages an array of authentication methods to access public and corporate network resources. Enterprise users can gain access to their cloud applications, such as Microsoft 365, VPNs, corporate networks, Windows desktops, and Citrix applications . Consumers can confirm their identity and authenticate transactions.

Balancing security and usability, HID DigitalPersona boasts one of the widest arrays of authentication factors in the industry. This includes one-time passwords, mobile-based push, smartcards, security keys, risk- and context-based methods, and biometrics, such as fingerprint, face, and behavioral keystroke.

During the onboarding process, remote workers can enroll their fingerprints or create secure PINs. This eliminates the need for complicated passwords and enables them to safely access company resources and critical apps from remote locations. HID DigitalPersona's robust authentication techniques and access control features can assist you in adhering to data security laws.

We are in the medical profession, so we need a highly secure system for usage. HID is really helpful if an organization is working with or dealing with very sensitive and confidential data. It has great authentication methods, such as biometric login and smart cards, and one can choose OTP as well for authentication.

This is a great software for multi-factor authentication on a Windows computer. It really keeps our computers safe and ensures that the right people are using them. However, a may take a couple extra swipes for them to accept your fingerprint. Overall, I am pretty happy with the software and give it an 8/10 because of that.

HID DigitalPersona is going to be great for any organization using Active Directory and Windows that is looking for additional authentication options. I believe that it also can integrate with Azure AD. It would not be suitable for an organization running Linux or MacOS as the software is not compatible with those platforms.

  • We have used it to safeguard data and apps hosted on cloud server, like to mandate multi-factor authentication for staff members to access cloud-based programs like office 365 and saleforce.
  • It is used to safeguard containerized apps and microservices, like to mandate that digital certificates used for microservices' mutual authentication.
  • It is used to streamline the administration of access control and user authentication, like with serval on-premises and cloud based apps to give employees a single sign-in option.

They are providing a wonderful experience in their application, which provides trustable Biometric integration. We can provide a secure gateway to enter our application using their services. If we ignore the high price of the application, they can be considered by any application that is working in any finance-related application.

HID DigitalPersona is excellent for securing restricted zones within the organization. It is well-suited for accurately tracking employee attendance using biometric verification. It is ideal for granting authorized personnel secure access to critical data and systems. HID DigitalPersona is less appropriate for managing temporary or visitor access due to the biometric setup process.

I can now use HID DigitalPersona to access all of my cloud applications, including Office 365 and Salesforce. Due to the use of multiple authentication factors by HID DigitalPersona, I feel more secure about the security of my data. I can now use my fingerprint to access my work laptop and VPN easily without remembering different passwords for different logins.
