Secure, Compliant, and Resilient Identity Security for State and Local Government

State and local agencies deliver essential services while safeguarding sensitive data and critical infrastructure amid constant cyber threats. Identity-based attacks remain a primary entry point for breaches and ransomware, with 69% of organizations experiencing an identity-related breach in the past three years. RSA helps public sector organizations strengthen identity security with phishing
resistant authentication, passwordless access, identity governance, and AI-driven risk insights, enabling agencies to reduce identity risk, enforce compliance, and securely support users across on-premises, cloud, and hybrid environments.

Prevent Account Takeovers and Ransomware Attacks

State and local governments are prime targets for cybercriminals who exploit stolen credentials and weak authentication to disrupt services and steal sensitive data.
Identity attacks frequently begin with compromised credentials, and many organizations still rely on outdated authentication methods. In fact, 57% of organizations still use passwords as their primary authentication method, increasing exposure to credential-based attacks.

How RSA Helps:

• Phishing-resistant passwordless authentication to stop credential-based attacks
• Adaptive access policies that block suspicious login attempts in real time
  Secure multi-factor authentication that balances strong security with ease of use
• AI-driven risk analytics that detect and respond to anomalous access behavior before threats escalate

Ensure Compliance with Government Regulations

Government agencies must meet strict security mandates such as CJIS, HIPAA, and IRS 1075, which require strong identity controls, auditability, and governance.
Manual compliance processes are costly, prone to error, and difficult to scale as regulatory requirements continue to evolve.

How RSA Helps:

• Automates access reviews and enforces least privilege policies to reduce
  compliance gaps
• Provides real-time audit trails that simplify reporting and audit readiness
• Strengthens authentication and encryption to protect sensitive government data
• Helps agencies maintain compliance by enforcing identity policies consistently across systems

For more than 40 years, RSA has helped government agencies protect critical
systems, safeguard sensitive data, and support mission-critical operations.

RSA solutions deliver strong authentication, passwordless access, identity
governance, and AI-driven insights that help agencies reduce identity risk,
maintain compliance, and strengthen operational resilience.
