Encentuate IAM for Government

Enforce Compliance, Reduce Security Risks, and Achieve Accountability

Encentuate IAM for Government helps governments reduce security risks and improve efficiencies while ensuring compliance to the latest standards and mandates. The looming risk of terrorist threats has led to such initiatives as the Homeland Security Presidential Directive (HSPD-12), which requires the Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS 201), mandating strong authentication for federal employees and contractors.

Governmental organizations of all sizes, from federal and state divisions to local departments, constantly face the challenge of controlling access to sensitive information, while at the same time enabling fast access and convenient automation for authorized employees. Due to recent security threats, many federal, state, and local departments are now faced with enforcing increasingly stringent compliance requirements, while maintaining cost efficiencies in complex, multi-facility IT environments.

Now, Encentuate IAM for Government provides best-of-breed identity and access management by combining authentication management and single sign-on with user-centric auditing of all access related activities to strengthen security, enable compliance, improve productivity, and reduce operational costs. Encentuate also integrates with industry-leading user provisioning technologies to manage the identity lifecycle for employees and improve IT administrator productivity, supporting the unique requirements of governmental institutions.
