HID Global announced it has accredited the Swedish IT infrastructure integration company Cygate as the first Northern European implementation partner in its Identity Assurance Implementation Partner Program (IPP).

This new accreditation recognizes Cygate’s expertise and experience in managing the deployment of HID Global’s multi-layer strong authentication and credential management solutions.

With this accreditation, Cygate is now authorized to undertake professional service engagements that follow “Project Assurance” methodology developed by HID Global’s Identity Assurance Professional Services team.

The Cygate accreditation applies to the company’s expertise with the ActivID Card Management System (CMS). Future expansion to HID Global’s 4TRESS Authentication Appliance is also anticipated. Cygate has already completed a number of projects that include Identity Assurance products from HID Global, such as a credential management solution recently delivered to a large Swedish financial institution.
