U.S. Census Bureau sponsors RSA’s identity assurance solution for federal risk management certification program

RSA (@RSAsecurity), a globally trusted partner for some of the world’s largest and most risk sensitive organizations, today announced that RSA SecurID Access, the world’s most widely deployed identity assurance solution, has achieved the Federal Risk Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) “In-Process” status.  Receiving this designation from FedRAMP means that RSA is on its way to secure access for federal agencies and public sector organizations in the cloud with RSA’s Cloud Authentication Service.

“Government agencies increasingly need to support the workforce through both on-premise and cloud applications, which requires an authentication infrastructure. By serving as a formal sponsor to RSA for FedRAMP certification, we hope to help other federal agencies modernize their infrastructure and secure their agency mission,” said Kenny Harrison, Division Chief of the Telecommunications Office at the U.S. Census Bureau.
