Access: Oberthur Technologies

When a security company hires you toprovide security, you know you are ontosomething good. This was just the casewhen we were approached by Oberthur Technologies to help them upgrade thephysical security of their facilities.

A global leader in secure technology, Oberthur Technologies provides security solutions for Smart Transactions, Mobile Financial Services, Machine-to-Machine, digital Identity and Transport and Access Control. With such sensitive personal and financial information of their customers being stored at their facilities, it is critical for both their business and their customers’ that their own security is unimpeachable.

“There is nothing more important to us than the security of our customers information, increasing the security of our facilities is a natural progression of our philosophy of trust..”

Jan Petter Mathiesen, Sales Director ID BU at Oberthur Technologies

The pilot at Oberthur Technologies began with 10 employees being issued a Zwipe access card to replace their current credential. Ease of integration, coupled with increased security, were the two major selling points for Oberthur.

Additionally, being a security technology company themselves, the fact that the user’s biometric information is kept securely on the card only added to their decision-making process.
