Optimizing government operations with modern IT infrastructure
Managing secure access and information control is tough in government agencies. A key issue is the integration of legacy systems with modern security protocols, often leading to vulnerabilities in safeguarding critical data. Recent trends show an increased need for flexible yet secure remote access solutions, as government employees often work from various locations, heightening the risk of security breaches.
Another significant challenge is ensuring compliance with legal and regulatory frameworks, which requires constant monitoring and updating of access protocols. Furthermore, the diverse nature of government roles, ranging from administrative staff to high-level officials, necessitates a tailored approach to access control, ensuring that sensitive information is only accessible to those with the appropriate permissions.

Protect government endpointsSecuring government endpoints is paramount because they are prime targets for cyberthreats. These endpoints play a pivotal role in managing sensitive data and operational functions. Accessing agency data without authorization poses severe risks to the agency's operations, potentially damaging the nation's security. AD360 enhances government endpoint security by implementing MFA and advanced password policy controls for logging in to various systems and applications.
- Secure Windows, macOS, Linux OS, VPN, and OWA logins with adaptive MFA, fortifying access controls crucial for secure government operations.
- Customize password policies to government standards, restricting character repetition, dictionary word usage, palindromes, and more.
- Integrate with the Have I Been Pwned service to prevent users from using previously compromised passwords during government enterprise password resets and changes.
Government databases store incredibly sensitive information, necessitating robust access control measures. However, the complex network of government positions and varying data sensitivities creates a significant challenge. Government agencies encompass a diverse array of roles, like government employees, contractors, and citizens, each with unique access needs, complicating the design of authentication systems. Furthermore, government roles are flexible, with personnel frequently changing responsibilities. In this ever-changing government landscape, scalability and flexibility are vital to accommodate new roles, technologies, and security demands. AD360 ensures government institutions safeguard their critical data by preventing unauthorized access and breaches, thus maintaining data integrity and confidentiality against potential security threats.
- Implement fine-grained access controls to establish and oversee user permissions in the government sector. This guarantees that only authorized personnel are granted access to specific government resources, reducing the potential for unauthorized entry.
- Ensure government employees and citizens prove their identity using 19 authentication methods, including biometrics, Duo Security, Google Authenticator, and Microsoft Authenticator.
- Customize authentication methods in the government sector to user behavior, location, and device, enhancing security by adapting access controls to individual circumstances.
When it comes to identity management for federal governments, organizations need to manage diverse accounts with varying levels of access. This involves challenges such as data silos, disparate approval processes, and lack of transparency. AD360 addresses these challenges by streamlining the approval workflow. This ensures that all requests for creation, modification, and access undergo thorough supervision to prevent unauthorized changes.
- Implement workflow features in government systems to create an approval hierarchy, reduce errors, and ensure data security. This is essential for safeguarding citizens' data and adhering to privacy laws like FISMA.
- Notify agents through email during task execution, including about account updates and permission changes. This ensures effective communication among departments for efficient public service and governance.
- Create automated workflows utilizing orchestration actions, webhooks, and customizable notification templates. Customize scripts and integrate administrative actions seamlessly using a user-friendly, drag-and-drop interface.
Government agencies handle a vast amount of sensitive data, from citizen records and financial transactions to national security data. The challenge lies in safeguarding this invaluable data against security threats and breaches. AD360 provides real-time visibility to detect and respond swiftly to potential security risks, ensuring critical government information protection.
- Monitor user logon activity comprehensively, auditing logon failures and logon history, ensuring data security and compliance within government operations.
- Receive instant alerts on who performed what change, when, and from where, ensuring accountability and transparency in government agencies.
- Generate detailed reports on users' behavior, access permissions, and compliance status, simplifying audits and providing clear evidence of adherence to governmental regulatory standards.
Government organizations are increasingly targeted by cyberattacks and disruptive attacks. As cybercriminals become more sophisticated, these threats expose sensitive information, critical supplies and services, and citizen health. AD360 offers a solution, allowing administrators to generate detailed compliance reports that align with various international data regulation policies, including the NIST SP 800-171, FISMA, SOX, the CCPA, the GDPR, and other relevant regulations.
- Simplify government agency compliance with customizable reporting templates, specifically designed for the unique regulatory landscape. These templates ensure seamless tracking and data protection standards.
- Generate detailed reports tailored for the government sector, providing timely insights into regulatory adherence and data protection.
- Implement real-time alert systems and continuous monitoring for government compliance, allowing swift responses to breaches, ensuring citizen and personnel information security, and maintaining public trust.
