Thales access management and data protection solutions help governments around the world protect sensitive data.
National governments around the world and many of their member states and local jurisdictions have enacted laws regulating the data security of the personal, strategic and other sensitive data these governments hold. Government agencies and the organisations that work with them may be subject to breach disclosure notification and fines if they do not comply with digital security mandates. Thales provides solutions that help government agencies and organisations that work with them secure their data and comply with these laws.
Government organisations face all the digital security challenges private and nongovernmental organisations face. However, the need to be trusted may well be more important for governments than for other organisations. In addition, the digital security of infrastructure, intelligence and military information can have life and death consequences for governments and their citizens.
Among the digital security challenges government IT people face today are:
Thales access management & authentication and data protection solutions help government organisations meet data security compliance requirements, facilitate security auditing, protect their citizens and avoid data breaches by protecting data across devices, processes and platforms on premises and in the cloud.
Access management & authentication
Thales’ access management and authentication solutions provide both the security mechanisms and reporting capabilities needed by government organisations to comply with data security regulations. Our solutions protect sensitive data by enforcing the appropriate access controls, when users log into applications that store sensitive data. By supporting a broad range of authentication methods and policy driven role-based access, our solutions help organisations mitigate the risk of data breach due to compromised or stolen credentials or through insider credential abuse.
Support for smart single sign on and step up authentication allows organisations to optimise convenience for end users, ensuring they only have to authenticate when needed. And extensive reporting allows organisations to produce a detailed audit trail of all access and authentication events, ensuring they can prove compliancy with a broad range of regulations.
