Government Security Modernization Should Start with Identity.
With RSA, you can Manage Risk and Meet Today’s Cybersecurity Requirements.
Government agencies, contractors and systems integrators are striving to fulfill the national security mandate of White House Executive Order (EO) 14028 on Improving the Nation’s Cybersecurity. The EO and The U.S. Office of Management and Budget’s Memorandum M-22-09 require the federal government to secure cloud services, develop plans to implement zero-trust architecture, and deploy multi-factor authentication.
Find out how RSA can help to modernize government cybersecurity with EO 14208, and meet zero-trust requirements, defend against phishing attacks, and move to the cloud.
RSA ID Plus for Government: FedRAMP-Authorized Authentication.
As federal agencies and public sector organizations move to the cloud and work to meet new zero-trust directives, RSA is committed to supporting their journey with industry-leading security solutions. The FedRAMP-authorized RSA Cloud Authentication Service, offered through RSA Federal, provides the core capabilities that government agencies need to secure and accelerate the use of cloud services.
The FedRAMP-authorized identity and access management (IAM) solution helps U.S. government agencies and Federal Systems Integrators move to the cloud faster, remove costs, and enable compliance. The RSA solution satisfies 325 security and privacy controls based on the NIST 800-53 framework and meets requirements for continuous reporting. By deploying the FedRAMP-authorized solution, organizations can eliminate the cost, time, and effort needed to pursue their own authorization.
