Identity Assurance for Government.

Every industry has its own set of circumstances surrounding identity, and professionals working in federal, state, local and central governments are no exception. Part of HID Global, trusted leader in solutions for the delivery of secure identity, ActivIdentity is a technology expert in Identity Assurance. We work with more than 200 local, state, federal and international government agencies in the U.S., Europe, Asia, Australia and beyond to enable customers to prove and establish trust in the identities accessing their networks, applications, buildings and other resources.

With ActivIdentity’s Identity Assurance product portfolio, government customers can quickly and easily issue and manage users’ credentials that meet the compliance requirements of stringent U.S. Federal government Personal Identity Verification (PIV) standards.

ActivIdentity’s Credential Management System (CMS) Appliance ensures secure access to PCs, Windows login, cloud applications, mobile devices, remote access and building facilities.  The CMS Appliance manages credentials throughout their life cycle, updating users’ access in real time without additional cost and resources. To secure cloud applications, and VPN access with multifactor authentication via one-time password tokens or smart cards, many agencies rely on the ActivIdentity 4TRESS Appliance.

Imagine issuing a single, converged smart card that lets users physically get in the door, log onto critical applications or networks, and use that same credential to digitally encrypt and decrypt data. With ActivIdentity Identity Assurance technology, users can even digitally sign emails from their desktop, laptop and smart phones, while maintaining both security and compliance.

Not surprisingly, ActivIdentity smart card-based identity solutions have been selected by more government agencies than any other provider’s, including the U.S. Department of Defense, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and central government agencies throughout the world. In fact, to date, literally millions of government employees carry security credentials issued by ActivIdentity solutions.

While working in the field, ActivIdentity’s ActivEntry Mobile suite of products allows government agencies to use PIV cards for mobile access control, which is critical in scenarios that require accurate information about credential holders, but where network connectivity is unreliable. Scenarios often include:

• First Responder access control for natural disasters and homeland security incidents
• Access control to remote government properties or leased offices

• Maritime and transportation security
• Border control and perimeter security

Several other factors such as mandates like HSPD-12 and the eGovernment Act of 2002 also drive extensive use of ActivIdentity Identity Assurance solutions. By managing and making more information securely available online, our government customers improve response time, provide higher quality of service and lower cost of service delivery, and generate less paperwork.

How can we help your agency provide Identity Assurance for the lowest taxpayer dollar?
