HID Global has introduced HID FARGO Connect, a cloud-based solution designed to simplify and streamline the issuance of ID cards and credentials. According to the company, HID FARGO Connect creates a new approach for ID issuance. It says: "For the first time ever, ID cards can be issued from anywhere and from any device via a web interface in a trusted environment. It also allows users to remotely monitor and manage their consumables."HID FARGO Connect is the biggest innovation that the ID card issuance industry has seen in more than a decade, and with it, HID is changing the way cards and credentials are issued forever," says Craig Sandness, vice president and managing director of Secure Issuance, HID Global. "HID Global is introducing a game-changing way for people to issue IDs, and we're turning HID FARGO printers into smart, secure, web-enabled, edge devices for the Internet of Trusted Things."HID claims HID FARGO Connect is delivered using the industry's most secure cloud technologies with end-to-end encryption and transport layer security. Users can create new cards, encode data, issue replacements and manage print queues in one trusted system that meets the most stringent regulatory security and data privacy requirements. The company adds that it is a platform that will continue to evolve over time to further enhance the capabilities for mobility and securing the Internet of Trusted Things (IoTT).
