Achieve Compliance with Federal Mandates
Passwordless, phishing resistant MFA is becoming a requirement to access systems and databases across the federal government. Axiad provides the unified credential management platform to enhance your current systems and meet the latest requirements.
Key Security Challenges in the Federal Sector
The sensitive nature of the information stored in Federal agency systems makes them a prime and frequent target for cyber criminals, both directly and via indirect access via suppliers or contractors.
The White House Executive Order 14028, the Office of Management and Budget Memo M-22-09, CMMC 2.0, and the latest CJIS security policy all point to the necessity of deploying passwordless, phishing resistant MFA to protect against the sophisticated identity attackers now prevalent in the world. And CISA states that there are only two ways to achieve phishing resistant MFA: by implementing FIDO/ WebAuthn or Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), either of which can be complex and require specialized expertise to roll out.
There are many older systems still in use in the federal government, creating difficulties in upgrading to strong authentication techniques. As some systems are upgraded or replaced, this introduces the problem of managing multiple, disparate authentication systems, some of which may still need to be air-gapped for maximum security.
The pressure continues to build to move toward zero trust architectures, which calls for authenticating every user, every machine and every digital interaction.
