The maker of the NetBox physical access security management system says it is teaming up with an IT security manufacturer on a new integrated physical/logical access security product. S2 Security Corp. says the new product it is creating with Lexington, Mass.-based Imprivata Inc. will combine the NetBox product with Imprivata’s OneSign™ access and authentication management appliance platform.
The product, expected to reach market by late summer, will allow login access to computers and networks with knowledge of a user’s physical location.
“When we talk about physical and logical security convergence, this is a pure example,” says S2 CEO John Moss. “Only because both products share data over the same IP network, is this new application possible.”
