Dutch Ministry of Defense opts for Identive security

Tuesday, February 7, 2012

The Dutch Ministry of Defense (MoD) has chosen Identive’s SmartFold smart card readers to provide secure remote network access for its employees.

The agency has a lot of restricted and sensitive data that has particular management requirements. The MoD felt that the Identive contact smart card reader would provide the desired level of security, yet be flexible enough to incorporate into the existing network security infrastructure.

The MoD deployed 59,500 ISO7816-compliant SmartFold SCR3500 mini USB readers, which were provided by SCC, Identive’s distribution partner in the Netherlands.

Identive counts over 30 government agencies on its client list. [end]
