Navigating the Cybersecurity Landscape
As a government agency, you face a growing array of cyberattacks along with strict compliance requirements unique to your sector.
BIO-key PortalGuard offers advanced biometric authentication that verifies user identities during actions. NIST-tested and approved for top accuracy, BIO-key’s biometrics are integrated into the award-winning PortalGuard platform, featuring multiple methods such as fingerprint and palm scanning.
We recognize that government cybersecurity requirements are complex and demanding. That’s why we tailor our products and solutions to meet your specific security needs.
Organizations managing elections face intense pressure to enhance security. With so much at stake, it is crucial to secure access to election management systems, reporting systems, and voter registration databases using biometric authentication.
Transitioning to Zero-Trust is complex, especially now that it is mandatory for US federal agencies. While the government holds more data than the private sector, it’s often stored on older, vulnerable systems. Start your Zero-Trust journey with BIO-key biometrics— the most secure method to verify user identities and ensure that only authorized individuals access your data.
In the US, laws like FISMA set security standards for protecting sensitive information, while NIST provides essential compliance guidelines for federal agencies. In Europe, the updated NIS 2 Directive establishes security requirements for public entities managing critical infrastructure. With PortalGuard, you can ensure compliance with all regulations while operating securely and efficiently.
The rise of cyber-physical systems has expanded the attack surface for Operational Technology (OT) owners and administrators, leading to more frequent and severe cyberattacks on critical infrastructure. Securing identities and access is crucial in this context, and PortalGuard offers the ideal solutions to combat threats. With enterprise-controlled enrollment, only approved individuals gain specific account privileges, while BIO-key’s MFA supports a Zero Trust approach, verifying the identity of the access requester beyond just passwords or tokens.
Federal initiatives are prompting many election boards to enhance security, with Collier County Supervisor of Elections Jennifer Edwards believing these solutions will soon be standard. However, security and fraud issues from recent elections must be addressed to maintain election integrity.
Recognizing the need for stronger cybersecurity, Supervisor Edwards partnered with BIO-key to implement multi-factor authentication using biometrics. This allowed the county to significantly reduce password resets and establish robust biometric authentication for shared workstations, all at an affordable cost.
Implement authentication approaches such as adaptive, step-up, passwordless authentication.
Secure and access all of your applications through a single point of strong authentication with a single IdP.
Self-service reset & recovery options prevent password-related help desk calls.
