The new partnership sees Honeywell combining its Pro-Watch physical access control system with OneSign, Imprivata’s logical location-based authentication solution.
The integrated product will enable managers to grant or restrict access to physical locations, IT networks and applications all based on an individual’s credentials.
“Because it works with existing network authentication infrastructure to provide a single audit trail, this solution delivers a way to maximise existing security investments,” said John Lorenty, president of Honeywell Systems Group.
Pro-Watch is a security management platform that integrates access control, intrusion, video surveillance and CCTV. Working with OneSign, it should be able to allow or deny network access based on somebody’s physical location, position within a company and administrative privileges.
Omar Hussain, Imprivata’s president and CEO, said that until now physical and logical security systems have existed in isolation.
“The integration of Pro-Watch and OneSign Physical/Logical facilitates coordinated communication between the two systems to achieve a stronger and more compliant security solution.
“By implementing this integrated solution, potential gaps between disparate systems are eliminated and the overall enterprise security system is strengthened.”
Honeywell believes that this new project offers customers greater regulatory compliance and operational efficiency whilst reducing insurance liability.
