Quantum, HP partner for physical access

Monday, March 28, 2011

Quantum Secure, a provider of enterprise software to manage and streamline security identities, compliance and events across disparate physical security systems, announced a collaboration effort with the Global Identity Practice within HP Enterprise Services.

HP Enterprise Services has experience developing and implementing enterprise-wide and identity management solutions that can help governments meet their HSPD-12 and FIPS 201-related challenges.


The Quantum Secure SAFE suite of enterprise software enables corporate security practitioners to implement best practices, automate key processes and simplify control of employees, vendors and other third-party identities across a global organization.

By connecting their physical security operations closely to their IT infrastructure, security practitioners can realize the value of physical and logical security convergence, lower their level of risk and realize a very strong return on their investment that will result in sustainable cost savings, year after year.

Working together, the two companies will deploy and support integrated security solutions for a host of government agencies, bringing together both logical and physical security into a holistic approach to identity management within and between agencies. [end]
