Blog post from Ory
Ory and HID have announced a strategic partnership to develop a FIDO2-based enterprise identity platform aimed at enhancing security through phishing-resistant authentication by integrating physical and digital access into a unified credential strategy. This collaboration combines HID's expertise in physical access solutions with Ory's large-scale identity infrastructure, managing over 2 billion identities, to address the growing demand for passwordless and secure authentication in enterprises, especially in regulated sectors like financial services. The joint platform will simplify the adoption of FIDO technologies, providing a modular approach to modernize identity management without disrupting existing systems, and is set to be released in the second quarter of 2026. This partnership seeks to lower operational costs and improve security by eliminating password vulnerabilities and supporting seamless access across various environments, thus positioning the offering as an essential component of digital transformation and zero-trust initiatives for global organizations.
