HID Global, an Austin, Texas-based marketer of identity security products, has acquired HydrantID of Salt Lake City. HydrantID provides management and automation services to secure enterprise organizations’ data, IT systems, networks and the Internet of Things (IoT). Specializing in public key infrastructure (PKI) as a service, HydrantID has issued over 3 million PKI credentials and secured over 125,000 domains.
“We are evolving HID’s identity and access management business to provide one-stop solutions for PKI services across the enterprise,” said Stefan Widing, president and CEO of HID Global. “With the acquisition of HydrantID, we are now able to offer enterprise customers a broader range of options, plus the flexibility and scalability of PKI-as-a-service to improve information security.”
HydrantID will join HID’s IdenTrust operation in Salt Lake City under HID’s identity and access management business led by Brad Jarvis, IdenTrust’s vice president and managing director.
