HID Launches Converged Credentials at ISC West 2026
HID has announced the launch of HID Converged Credentials at ISC West 2026. The company said the solution is designed to help security teams close identity gaps, simplify credential management and strengthen overall security posture.
The product allows organizations to secure their facilities and manage employee identities and credentials through a single, unified platform. The company designed the product to modernize its identity architecture; it consolidates physical and logical access under a single phishing-resistant credential.
HID said that due to an evolving threat landscape, such as AI-enabled attack methods exploiting credential-based vulnerabilities, organizations that unify how they govern identity across physical and logical environments are better positioned to stay ahead of those threats.
“Our customers have trusted HID to secure their facilities for decades. HID Converged Credentials is a direct response to what they’re telling us: they want fewer vendors, less complexity and a credential that works everywhere, from the front door to the desktop and the cloud. We’re uniquely positioned to deliver that, because identity is in our DNA,” said Daniel Gundlach, vice president and head of business unit at NAM – PACS HID.
Converged Credentials consolidates physical and logical access onto a single credential. This allows users to use the same security token they already carry to badge through secured doors and log in to their workstation without passwords and without security teams having to manage multiple identity systems.
The product is built to support FIDO2 and PKI standards.
“Security teams today are looking for solutions that reduce complexity without compromising protection,” said Sean Dyon, vice president and head of authentication at HID. “HID Converged Credentials delivers on both fronts, giving employees one credential to access the building, their workstation and applications, while making credential management simpler and more efficient for organizations.”
Converged Credentials is available in multiple form factors, including Crescendo Smart Cards, Security Keys and Micro Readers.
