Secure access to confidential data

Governmental authorities aim to improve the quality of life for their citizens, by effective and efficient delivery of public services. Federal and local governments are organized in different departments that have to work closely together. Having access to data on internal networks and applications is thus paramount. Due to the sensitive nature of these data, confidentiality is of the utmost importance. That is why more and more government agencies and departments opt for a multi-factor authentication solution to secure access to their networks and applications. These strong authentication solutions replace insecure static passwords with highly secure one-time-passwords, thus eliminating unauthorized access to confidential data.

Challenges include:
  • Data loss prevention
  • Identity theft
  • Unauthorized data access
  • Privacy concerns and regulatory compliance as governments collect private information about their citizens
