Fremont-based ActivCard, the leader in IDentity Management (IDM) software, Monday announced that the ActivCard Identity Management System (AIMS) has been adopted by Microsoft Corporation for employees and contractors. Microsoft has deployed the solution - including a corporate, smart card-based identity badge - to more than 25,000 employees in this initial deployment phase.
As a component of its overall corporate security strategy, all Microsoft employees, contractors, and authorized users will carry the ID smart card for physical access to on-campus facilities and remote access to Microsoft's corporate network. The AIMS solution met Microsoft's requirements for secure issuance and distribution of smart cards and user credentials in a large-scale enterprise - and performed under the demands of Microsoft's rapid deployment schedule.
