Crescendo provides organizations with seamless and secure employee authentication, ensuring that only authorized personnel can access sensitive information. The Crescendo Cards offer robust multi-factor authentication (MFA) through a single corporate identification badge, granting access to both physical facilities and digital enterprise resources. Designed for expedient and straightforward deployment, Crescendo Cards are FIDO2 certified and support established standards such as passkeys, PIV, and PKI. This capability enables organizations to adopt a Zero Trust security framework that can adapt to evolving security standards, technologies, and industry regulations.
Seamless Security for Diverse Use Cases:
Organizations can achieve effortless compliance while safeguarding both on-premises and cloud-based enterprise resources through strong authentication methods for accessing:
- IT networks, systems, and single sign-on (SSO) solutions
- Online applications employing FIDO technology or passkeys, eliminating the need for software installation
- Personal computers and shared workstations utilizing Crescendo Cards
- Digital signatures that enable users to verify the authenticity of emails and documents
- Data encryption, ensuring that only authorized individuals can access sensitive information
- Secure printing, thereby maintaining confidentiality and enhancing data protection
Organizations can employ a single smart card for visual identity verification, network authentication, cloud access, and physical entry. Two interface configurations are available to accommodate diverse needs: a dual (contact and contactless) interface and/or an iCLASS® contactless interface.
