Technology Record - Issue 39: Winter 2025

46 global commercial real estate businesses and has integrated HID Mobile Access into its Workplace app to help clients centrally manage employee identities, grant them access to buildings and systems, and more. When the enterprise creates a user in Microsoft Entra ID, the Workplace app is automatically distributed and installed on the user’s device via Microsoft Intune. When the user launches the app, they are already authenticated using Entra ID single sign-on. The Smart Spaces Workplace app then securely retrieves an HID mobile access credential and provisions it into the enterprise access control system, mapping access rights based on the user’s department and group memberships. Once the credential is active, the user can physically access company offices. If an employee is promoted, changes role or leaves the organisation, their access levels are automatically updated. This allows enterprises to securely manage more than 100,000 users at scale, ensuring individuals only have access to the resources they are authorised to use. As Smart Spaces CEO Dan Drogman says: ‘Modern workplaces should adapt automatically to the people who use them.’ With both enterprise needs and the cybersecurity landscape continually evolving, what is HID prioritising to ensure it can anticipate new market demands and adapt its solutions for the future? We are focused on developing new and improved methods of connectivity that make it easier to upgrade existing hardware in the field. This approach enables us to quickly add features such as enhanced cybersecurity hardening or implement fixes for upstream vulnerabilities, ensuring our products remain secure and adaptable over time.
