Card Application Management

Card Application Management involves securely managing the full lifecycle of applications installed on a smart card. This is integrated directly into Cogito Group’s Card Management System (CMS) solution, ensuring a seamless card management experience.

Seamless Integration:

• Integrated Applet Management: Secure installation of new applications, updates, and patches to smart card applications are done automatically as part of routine CMS operations.
• Centralised Management Console: Cogito Group provides a centralised platform to manage the entire smart card application lifecycle and monitor card activities across services.
• Role-based Access Control (RBAC): Tiered access can be applied to who can manage smartcard applications, ensuring that only relevant personnel have the ability to manage smartcard configurations and applications.
• Audit and Reporting: Application access, configuration changes, and modifications are logged and made available for audit purposes through Cogito Group’s SIEM system.

Extensive Configurability:

• Application Library: Application versions can be uploaded and managed through Jellyfish, enabling granular management of application versioning and assignment to specific cards.
• Application Customisation: Custom application configurations can be created and maintained through Jellyfish, to be automatically applied to cards during day-to-day operations.

• Enhanced Security: An integrated approach ensures that card applications can be updated on the fly to patch security vulnerabilities and add additional functionality, as opposed to the traditional “one-and-done” model of application management.
• Better Auditability: Card applications are managed and maintained through Jellyfish, providing improved visibility and tracking on deployed applications across all smartcards in an organization
• Compliance: Card Application Management functionality is provided as part of Jellyfish, integrating with our Zero Trust architecture and is in line with ASD Essential 8 security strategies.
• Data Sovereignty: All data, including cryptographic keys and card applications, are managed within Australian Government accredited data centres, ensuring compliance with data sovereignty laws.

Cogito Group’s Card Application Management functionality provides a comprehensive, secure, and compliant solution for organisations that require robust identity verification, strong authentication, and secure data management. By integrating smart card technology with broader security services, Cogito Group ensures a seamless and scalable approach to managing card lifecycles while meeting the highest standards of security and compliance.
