How Are You Protecting Government Data?
Thycotic’s privilege management gives Federal agencies and government contractors simple, automated controls to secure confidential information, and to meet the US Department of Homeland Security CDM requirements.
Challenge
Malicious threat agents and state-sponsored attacks are targeting Federal government IT systems.
Danger
Attacks can disrupt mission-critical operations, corrupt or steal classified information, and deny essential services.
Solution
Privilege management secures access to data and systems to prevent and defend against cyber attacks.
Privileged credentials must be managed and
secured to protect billions of federal records
The most sensitive data and critical IT systems managed by the federal government are accessible to anyone with the right credentials. Privileged management solutions, including role-based access control, encryption, multi-factor authentication, and enforcement of a least privilege policy, are an essential part of a cyber security strategy for all federal agencies and contractors.

To protect classified data and mission-critical government systems from cyber attack, the Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA) mandates that federal agencies and government contractors develop, document, and implement a cyber security program.

25% of Cyber Attacks Stem from Malicious
or Accidental Insider Behavior
When government insiders have privileged access to information they are vulnerable to cyber attack. Insiders with privileged credentials may find ways to skirt security controls in an effort to get their jobs done more quickly. Foreign entities could use social engineering to recruit them—wittingly or unwittingly —for cyber espionage. Learn how Thycotic helps federal agencies reduce the risk of insider threats.
