UK & EU Government

MyID® credential management enables governments and their departments to issue and manage secure digital identities, protecting user access to software, data, systems and buildings for cyber secure operations.

The Threat

The growing cyber threat

Handling a diverse range of sensitive data for the departments, organisations and citizens they support, governmental bodies represent a significant target for state-sponsored, political and organised crime hacking. MyID® hands governments the control they need over the digital identities they issue to employees to safeguard data, systems, networks and buildings from unauthorised access - embedding the certainty that employees accessing governmental information are who they claim to be.

How MyID Helps

MyID credential management for secure government employee identity

MyID® provides government bodies with the software necessary to issue and manage cryptographically protected digital identities across large numbers of employees using public key infrastructure (PKI) for the most secure method of multi-factor authentication. Trusted by governments worldwide, and by US federal agencies, MyID reduces the threat of data breach by removing weak user credentials from the equation - so governmental bodies can be certain that employees accessing secure networks, systems and data are who they claim to be, with a seamless experience and the technology they want to use.
