Gemalto
has been working closely with Microsoft for nearly ten years to
integrate smart cards within the Microsoft product ecosystem, starting
with building cryptographic support of our smart cards directly into
Windows 2000 that continues through Windows Vista. Today, Gemalto is a
Gold Certified Partner in the Microsoft Partner Program with focus in
several key areas for identity, access and security. As a member of the
Microsoft Identity and Access (IDA) partner ecosystem, Gemalto is
tightly integrated with and extends Microsoft’s identity management and
access products. Managing identities has become a top priority for enterprises
due to privacy, legal and regulatory compliance requirements like
Sarbanes-Oxley and HIPAA. The Microsoft IDA is a set of solutions that
help customers manage access to multiple user identities and the access
privileges across an organization. To help organizations more easily
address these issues, Microsoft’s solutions together with Gemalto’s
products can help improve the organizations productivity, reduce IT
costs and eliminate complexity in managing identity and access to
resources while focusing on security and ease of use.
Gemalto's digital identity solutions are based on a secure portable crypto
computer called a smart card that brings a higher-level of security for the
organization utilizing two-factor authentication. Our product offerings extend
Microsoft’s IDA and ISA solutions to more completely meet the challenges facing
enterprises today: to secure their environment and address regulatory compliance
by utilizing strong authentication for logon, signature and encryption.
