Aerospace & Defence
MyID® credential management provides the software global aerospace and defence organisations need to securely issue and manage workforce and supplier digital identities.
Safeguard against unauthorised access
The aerospace and defence sectors face persistent cyber threats from Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) groups working in association with nation states. From stealing intellectual property to collecting intelligence that risks undermining nations' defence systems and capabilities, aerospace and defence organisations have a responsibility to maintain best-practice cyber security. To minimise the threat it is essential that companies adopt the strongest form of digital identity for employees and suppliers - knowing someone is who they claim to be provides robust protection against the number-one cause of data breach: passwords and weak user credentials.
MyID credential management for aerospace and defence
MyID® software enables aerospace and defence organisations to issue and manage cryptographically protected digital identities across employees and suppliers using public key infrastructure (PKI) for the most secure method of multi-factor authentication - issued to smart cards, USB security keys, mobile devices and virtual smart cards, and managed from a single, auditable platform that lets operators replace, revoke and remove credentials as programmes and personnel change.

Maximum data breach protection
Remove passwords - the primary cause of data breach - and build user access around cryptographically protected multi-factor authentication.
Simple integration
Simplify the integration of existing IT with PKI infrastructure for minimal disruption.
Easy management
Benefit from one software solution for operators to issue and manage thousands of workforce digital identities.
Proven
MyID is a CMS platform that has been in operation for many of the world's most security-conscious enterprises for more than 25 years.
Futureproof
As cybercrime, hacking, phishing and malware attacks become more advanced, futureproof processes against the growing threat with a robust digital identity system. MyID integration also means your CMS adapts as the devices and technologies your employees use change.
Cost saving
From the simplicity and ease of integration across existing infrastructure and devices, to the reduction in IT resource involvement thanks to enabling employees to self-serve, MyID CMS adds value to any aerospace and defence organisation's cyber security capabilities.
Common questions
Need something specific? Contact our team →
ITAR (International Traffic in Arms Regulations) restricts access to defence articles and services. For identity management, ITAR compliance means ensuring only US persons (or appropriately licensed foreign nationals) have access to ITAR-controlled systems. MyID CMS's audit trail, leavers revocation and certificate policy controls support ITAR access control requirements.
JSP 440 is the UK Ministry of Defence's security manual covering physical and personnel security. It includes requirements for authentication to defence systems. MyID CMS smart card and FIDO2 authentication meets JSP 440 authentication requirements. Our cleared UK team can advise on specific JSP 440 implementation questions.
Yes. Major aerospace prime contractors often operate multiple PKI domains, one for corporate IT, one for programme-specific systems. MyID CMS supports cross-certification and bridge CA architectures that allow credentials from one domain to be trusted in another, with configurable policies governing inter-domain certificate validation.
