ActivID Authentication and Credential Management vs. Opal Security

HID Identity Assurance portfolio delivers a full range of authentication and credentialing options that help you gain confidence in your users’ identities and effectively protect access to all your physical resources, internal networks, systems and services, and public and private cloud-based applications.

Opal is an authorization reasoning platform that empowers security and engineering teams to manage access and reduce identity risk at scale. We provide real-time visibility, prioritized insights, and frictionless just-in-time controls across every identity: from employees to AI agents. At our core is an intelligent data layer that continuously analyzes access behavior to surface and contextualize the most critical risks. Unlike legacy IGA or workflow tools, Opal gives our customers read-write authority to enforce least privilege and remediate exposures directly.
