NEW YORK, NY–(Marketwired – May 5, 2015) – ImageWare Systems, Inc. ( OTCQB : IWSY ); Identiv ( NASDAQ : INVE )

Cisco

Mr. Christian Matthews, Director of Product Management for IoT Software, Cisco, told us, “Simply monitoring high-value assets provides a general example. Video surveillance combined with other sensor output such as audio, motion, or building contacts is used to increase protection and monitor assets without constant human supervision. Threats of incidents are detected and the risks mitigated by alerting personnel or automatically initiating preventative actions. When combined with advance video analytics, benefits continue to grow. At the University of San Francisco (USF), IP cameras and the Cisco Video Surveillance Manager deliver facial recognition to detect when unauthorized individuals enter an area and then notify appropriate staff. Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) use Cisco’s IoT Physical Security solutions to increase effectiveness of the transit police. With better intelligence, first responders and their associated operations teams have increased productivity substantially. They have done this at scale with a centralized command center managing more than 1700 remotely deployed IP cameras. Recently the system has been extended across busses and emergency response vehicles.”

HP Enterprise Services

Mr. Fred Duball, Data Center Practice Principal, Workload and Cloud Solutions, HP Enterprise Services, U.S. Public Sector, told us, “Many of our clients know that HP has a strong legacy of IT infrastructure support; we have more than 80 data centers worldwide supporting more than 1,300 customers. But here’s what makes the Mid-Atlantic Data Center (MDC) different — we have enhanced our security and compliance posture to accommodate and support the critical needs of the U.S. Federal Government, as well as commercial companies requiring stronger measures. The HP Mid-Atlantic Data Center has been designed to provide customers with high levels of security, reliability, compliance and cost effectiveness. In fact, the U.S. government has designated this facility as being a part of our nation’s critical infrastructure, guaranteeing priority restoral of services in the event of a natural or manmade disaster.”

Identiv

Identiv, Inc. (INVE) recently announced that it has entered into an agreement with Cisco Systems Inc. to provide solutions for the Internet of Everything (IoE). The IoE is the intelligent connection of people, processes, data and things to the Internet, bringing unprecedented economic opportunities to both the private and public sectors. Initially, Identiv will deliver a next-generation, networked physical access control system (PACS) solution that interacts with other IoE elements, such as Cisco virtual supervisor module (VSM) cameras and Cisco voice-over-IP (VoIP) telephony products.

Identiv will offer a completely network based access control system, including credentials, advanced networked uTrust TS door sensors, Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) door controllers and access control software. Identiv is committed to disrupting the traditional physical access market by offering a fully network-based solution that is easy to buy and use. Customers will gain enhanced value, lower installation costs and less complexity by using standards-based network cabling, leading to reduced total cost of ownership (TCO) and improved return on investment (ROI).

“Everything is connecting, and physical access is no different,” said Jason Hart, Identiv CEO. “Identiv is allowing customers to view physical access control as another element of the Internet of Everything. Our focus on identity as the new security perimeter allows us to build connected systems linking buildings, mobile devices, cloud services, and information systems that are easy to use, standards based, cost effective, and most importantly, secure.” Financial terms of the partnership were not disclosed.

Bosch Security Systems

Mr. Daniel Murray, Director Key Accounts, Systems Integration, Bosch Security Systems, told us, “Cyber security is a major area of concern for integrators, and future success is tied to the integrators’ ability to meet their own cyber security needs and those of the customers they support. One of the most startling facts is that the vast majority of cyber vulnerabilities can be mitigated by appropriate password implementation and process management. This is common practice in the IT world and an area for improvement in the arena of physical network security. Many of the thousands of cameras installed globally are done so with default, insufficient and missing passwords. This is an easy ‘first step’ in securing the physical security network which is missed by many dealers. At the PSA Cybersecurity Congress, discussion focused on multiple factors of network integrity that will change the face of our industry in the next 3-5 years.”

Nok Nok Labs

Nok Nok Labs, an innovator in modern authentication and a founding member of the FIDO Alliance, and DDS, Inc., a leading Japanese biometric company, announced a strategic partnership to jointly drive adoption of Nok Nok Labs’ products in the Japanese market, meeting the need for a more secure online environment. The two companies are working together to support Device Manufacturers, Mobile Network Operators and Online Service Providers and to drive the adoption of the FIDO Ready™ NNL™ S3 Authentication Suite with the goal of making online and mobile transactions more secure.

“The need for a more secure, easy to use, scalable online authentication ecosystem is a global concern,” said Phil Dunkelberger, President & CEO of Nok Nok Labs. “Joining forces with DDS provides us with a strong partner in the Japanese market to meet the needs of the region and to drive the growth in the market for FIDO-based authentication.”

DDS joined the FIDO Alliance in April 2014 becoming the first Japanese member. DDS has driven various activities to increase FIDO awareness in Japan such as the FIDO TOKYO Seminar and FIDO 1.0 PR event. “Nok Nok Labs and the FIDO Alliance have done a great job in promoting the FIDO movement in the U.S. and other global markets,” says Kenji Miyoshino, CEO of DDS. “Partnering with Nok Nok Labs will help drive significant business opportunities in the Japanese market, helping to create a more secure online environment on a global level.”

Mr. Ramesh Kesanupalli, Founder of Nok Nok Labs, Founding Member, FIDO Alliance, told us, “Prevailing password authentication has proven to be insecure and risky amidst a world of escalating security threats, cyber crime and targeted attacks, not to mention increasing vulnerability associated with so many more vectors of attack coming through the Internet of Things (IoT). Right now, we are moving from informational access to a major life style change where we can access everything digitally. We’re at the threshold of using authentication to pay at retail stores with our phones, to open and start our cars, to manage home networks, appliances, and security systems all through connected devices. Authentication is the FIRST step we must perform to begin to effectively use IoT.”

The 14th Annual Smart Card Alliance Government Conference
Smart Strategies for Secure Identity
June 9-10, 2015
Walter E. Washington Convention Center
Washington, DC

The Smart Card Alliance Government Conference was established over a decade ago, following the landmark government-wide security directive signed in August, 2004. HSPD-12 established standards for verifying an individual’s identity and issuing a tamper-proof credential that could be rapidly authenticated electronically. The conference has become the annual gathering place for the original leaders of this initiative as well as the current heads of federal agencies and industry leaders who continue to set the standards for identity credentialing and access security. This year’s conference will look forward to future developments in policy and evolving standards for government-issued credentials and their use by relying parties in physical and logical access systems, including use with mobile devices.
