ranked in the top 10 vendors for IAM technologies over the

- “Gemalto is the leading smart-card vendor, with a strong
presence in the enterprise, customer and citizen
authentication markets. It continues to innovate, providing
authentication solutions beyond the traditional use of smart
cards with public key cryptography, such as smart OTP tokens
and tight integration with biometric [fingerprint]
authentication methods. Within the narrower market segment
focusing on medium- and high-assurance use cases, Gemalto
must be regarded positively. For enterprises with those
needs or looking to provide a common access card for user
authentication and building access, Gemalto remains a solid
choice.” [Gartner, Gartner MarketScope for Enterprise
Broad-Portfolio Authentication Vendors Apr 2009]

- “IDC believes personal portable security devices [PPSDs]
will increase in number and range of use over the next
several years, especially in the online transaction
divisions of the banking, financial, government, healthcare,
and retail markets. Partnerships, such as those between
Gemalto and Precise, when optimized for a globally
distributed architecture such as Windows, will serve to
demonstrate adaptability, integration, and security values
of PPSDs going forward over the next several years. ” [IDC,

- “The personal portable security device [PPSD] has the
potential to solve strong authentication and portable data
breach concerns in a single device—the universal serial bus
[USB] thumb drive. The major vendors are Gemalto, MXI
Security, and Privaris. The Gemalto PPSD has the smallest
form factor, one that most closely resembles a USB thumb
drive. It also has the best integration with Microsoft
Windows and Identity Lifecycle Manager. ” [Burton Group,

- “Gemalto changed its strategy in 2006. What the ranking
does not reveal is the company's move toward more
professional services and value-added business, and its
repositioning as a security company rather than a smart card
company — a clever move considering the increasingly
commoditized nature of the smart card market. It is likely
that, in the next few years, the other top five chip card
vendors will follow suit.” [Gartner, Market Trends Chip
Cards and Chip Card Semiconductors, Worldwide, 2007, Apr
2008]

- "Some of the major vendors such as Gemalto [...] are thinking more laterally when it comes to an
NFC strategy. These companies are leveraging their ability
to offer additional value within the smart card supply chain
by offering services as a trusted third party to banks and
mobile operators. This is an ambitious but clever strategy,
and will likely pay off because of the security relationship
between these market players.” “The role of the smart card
vendors in offering services as a trusted third party to
facilitate billing and security when it comes to mobile
payment could actually be fundamental in ensuring its
success."

delivered a way to bring the user's mobile phone identity

identity management aspects of Gemalto's marketing,
including partnerships, make it appealing."
