HID Global announced a new HID Global Product Security Reporting Center, a way of reporting potential security vulnerabilities in HID Global products, that is now available on the company’s website, www.hidglobal.com.
“We recognise that responsible members of the security community are in a position to provide valuable input to help us strengthen the overall security and value of HID Global products,” said Denis Hébert, president and CEO of HID Global. “The HID Global Product Security Reporting Center is designed to provide a framework for communicating information to us and represents one more way in which we help protect our customers from unauthorized activities.”
Claims reported through the new Product Security Reporting Center are assessed, and validated within the framework of the company’s security vulnerability response process, for responding to vulnerability reports and defining appropriate actions which may be required to mitigate potential security risks and inform customers.
Software companies provide similar reporting mechanisms, but HID believes this to be the first of its kind in the physical access control industry.
