SecurID Receives FedRAMP Approval for Federal MFA Solution

May 4, 2022

“The SecurID solution is primarily aimed at offering multi-factor authentication, with support for factors including One-Time Passcodes, second-factor security keys, and mobile biometrics including facial recognition and fingerprint recognition.”

SecurID Receives FedRAMP Approval for Federal MFA Solution

RSA’s SecurID has received full Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) approval for its SecurID Federal solution for government cybersecurity.

From a business perspective, it’s an important milestone for SecurID. FedRAMP certification means that its solution is approved for use by government agencies and that it meets stringent security standards. To help ensure that its solution meets those standards, SecurID says it added 325 security and privacy controls based on the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s 800-53 framework, and the company took measures to ensure compliance with other important standards as well.

“Given that over 300,000 contractors do business with the government, we’ve prioritized speed-to-market as we know it’s top-of-mind for our customers as they migrate to the cloud,” commented RSA Federal President Kevin Orr. “We are certified to comply with FIPS 140-2, conform to VPAT accessibility requirements and other standards that are critical to public-sector technology selection. As mandates and requirements continue to evolve, we are committed to supporting federal agencies, public sector organizations and approved federal contractors as they move to the cloud.”

The SecurID solution is primarily aimed at offering multi-factor authentication, with support for factors including One-Time Passcodes, second-factor security keys, and mobile biometrics including facial recognition and fingerprint recognition. The company upgraded its flagship platform last year to deliver enhanced support for cloud-based deployments, adding a SecurID Governance & Lifecycle (G&L) Cloud system for centralized identity and access management.

The platform is already popular in the government sector, with SecurID asserting that it has seen security deployments spanning the Department of Defense, civilian agencies, and state and municipal government agencies.

“The public sector trusts our multi-factor authentication (MFA) and identity management solutions to empower employees, partners and contractors to do more—without compromising security or convenience,” explained SecurID Chief Product Officer Jim Taylor. Still, the new FedRamp certification “has improved upon our cybersecurity software for not only government organizations, but our commercial products as well,” he added.

The new certification arrives after the company’s access control-focused SecurID Access solution received FedRAMP In-Process status back in the autumn of 2020.
