Probaris launches Identity as a Service solution

Monday, August 1, 2011

Philadelphia-based identity software and services provider Probaris has gotten into the Identity as a Service (IDaaS) field with an offering that enables commercial enterprises, government agencies and government affiliated parties to issue PIV Interoperable (PIV-I) credentials.

The IDaaS solution works with Probaris ID Registration Authority for PIV and PIV-I to create an authoritative identity store that’s capable of mapping to extreme levels of assurance. When the two products are integrated, organizations can issue smart card and mobile credentials efficiently.


This product is also offered as a managed service that can handle the credential deployment process, related infrastructure and applications.

Probaris hopes this product will be attractive to companies who wish to do business with the U.S. government, especially given that all federal agencies have incorporated PIV solutions and plan to fully comply with the PIV standard. [end]
