Apriva announced today that it has integrated and tested the Workabout Pro with its Apriva CSPware and Apriva Guard middleware to ensure compatibility with all government-issued FIPS 201 certified smart cards or Common Access Cards. The Workabout Pro has also been validated to comply with the US government’s security technical implementation guide standards for how devices are protected.   

This opens up new markets for the Workabout Pro in verticals like financial services providers, government entities, and public service sectors---any organization that needs to comly with Homeland Security Presedential Directive 12 (HSPD-12).
