Thales Access Management & Authentication and Data Protection solutions help state and local governments meet data security compliance requirements, facilitate security auditing, protect their customers, 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 state and local government organizations 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 organizations 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 organizations to optimize convenience for end users, ensuring they only have to authenticate when needed. And extensive reporting allows organizations to produce a detailed audit trail of all access and authentication events, ensuring they can prove compliancy with a broad range of regulations.
