More About Identiv
Identiv focuses on physical security and secure identification technologies that map into enterprise security, identity and access management, and IoT security architectures. Its portfolio is oriented toward organizations that require controlled access to buildings, rooms, and assets, combined with secure identity credentials and device-level trust. Customers typically include commercial enterprises, federal and local government agencies, healthcare institutions, educational campuses, and other multi-site operators that manage a mix of physical facilities and digital systems.
In access control and video (physical security), Identiv provides controllers, readers, credentials, and management software that support badge- and credential-based entry to doors, gates, and restricted areas. These platforms usually integrate with video surveillance, alarm monitoring, and visitor management tools to form a single Security Operations (SecOps) view. The solutions are commonly deployed in on-premises (on-prem) environments, with options that integrate into hybrid IT or cloud-based management layers depending on the customer’s architecture and policy requirements.
In secure identification (identity and credentialing), Identiv supplies RFID and NFC components and finished products that align with use cases such as building access badges, transit and payment media, brand protection, inventory tracking, and IoT enablement. These offerings rely on standards-based technologies such as ISO/IEC smart card protocols, contactless card technologies, and NFC communication frameworks. Identiv’s products in this area often interoperate with third-party identity and access management (IAM) platforms, Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) systems, and enterprise directory services.
For logical access and credential management (identity and access management), Identiv provides smart card readers, tokens, and associated software that connect user identities to IT resources. These solutions are used to enforce strong authentication for desktops, laptops, secure workstations, and network access, and they can be integrated with existing enterprise identity frameworks, including Certificate-Based Authentication (CBA) and Single Sign-On (SSO) ecosystems. This positions Identiv within endpoint security, secure authentication, and credential lifecycle management categories.
Identiv also supplies embedded security components for IoT and connected devices, which support secure device identity, data protection, and authentication in distributed architectures. These are used by equipment manufacturers and solution providers to add hardware-based trust anchors and secure communication capabilities in verticals such as smart buildings, industrial systems, and specialized devices. Across these domains, Identiv’s offerings align with marketplace categories including physical access control, video surveillance and management, RFID and NFC solutions, logical access and authentication, and IoT security components.
