Company highlights new solutions in credential issuance, identity authentication and Digital Transformation, with continued investments across the Middle East and globally.
HID, a global leader in trusted identity solutions, is showcasing the latest advancements shaping the future of secure identity issuance and identity authentication at GITEX Global 2025.
From advanced card personalisation technologies and passwordless authentication to cloud-based issuance platforms, HID is demonstrating how its solutions are empowering organisations to strengthen security, elevate user convenience and fast-track their digital transformation journeys.
As part of its broader innovation portfolio, HID is also spotlighting its IDT Industrial Smart Component technology — a chip-agnostic platform of passive RFID tags and labels engineered for high-performance asset tracking and authentication in demanding industrial environments. Purpose-built for durability and reliability in harsh conditions, this solution enables robust process automation across industries such as manufacturing, healthcare, logistics and supply chain management.
Against the backdrop of a rapidly evolving threat landscape, HID’s presence at the event comes at a crucial time. According to IBM’s Cost of a Data Breach Report 2025, the global average cost of a data breach has surged to US$4.4 million, while in the Middle East this figure has risen to US$7.1 million, underscoring the region’s heightened exposure to cyber risks and the severe financial impact of such incidents. HID’s 2025 State of Security and Identity Report further reveals that 61% of security leaders cite mobile identity proliferation — the shift from traditional physical credentials to mobile-based identities — as one of the top three trends. Almost two-thirds of security leaders have either deployed (37%) or plan to deploy (32%) mobile credentials for access control, highlighting the growing need for integrated, secure and adaptive identity solutions.
At its stand, HID brings innovation to life through live demonstrations and interactive product zones that unveil the next generation of secure identity solutions. Visitors can experience first-hand how HID’s connected ecosystem — spanning hardware, software and cloud innovation — powers trusted interactions in the real world across different verticals.

In addition to its innovative product line-up, HID’s participation at GITEX Global 2025 reaffirms its long-term investment and growth strategy across the EMEA region. Recent strategic acquisitions — including Evolis and IXLA — along with parent company ASSA ABLOY’s acquisition of IAI Industrial Systems, have significantly enhanced HID’s card and passport personalisation portfolio, cementing its ability to offer comprehensive, end-to-end credential issuance solutions.
Parallel to this global momentum, HID is deepening its presence in the Middle East with a major expansion and investments in Saudi Arabia, supporting the region’s accelerating demand for secure access control and digital transformation in alignment with national vision agendas.
“In today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape, identity is no longer just a credential, it is the foundational pillar of trust, access and digital transformation for every organisation,” said Nat Pisupati, Regional Sales Director MEA, HID-FARGO. “At GITEX Global 2025, we are demonstrating how HID’s innovations in secure issuance, identity authentication and credential management are shaping the future of digital trust. Our focus is on delivering unified, open-platform ecosystems that seamlessly blend physical and digital security. This extends to our Industrial Smart Components for passive RFID, which extend HID’s identity technologies into high-performance industrial applications — enabling robust asset tracking, authentication and automation in even the most demanding environments.”
“Furthermore, our continued investment and expansion across the Middle East reaffirm our unwavering dedication to enabling governments and enterprises to build resilient, future-ready identity infrastructures that successfully balance flexibility, ironclad security and tangible real-world impact,” added Pisupati.
