Nearly all federal and governmental agencies, both civilian and defense, trust RSA to secure the most secure. Whether ensuring compliance, protecting classified information, or securing federal networks, RSA ID Plus for Government is your go-to solution for robust, compliant authentication.
By integrating the RSA iShield Key 2 series, powered by Swissbit, RSA ID Plus for Government provides U.S. federal agencies, contractors, and systems integrators with yet another method of secure authentication. The RSA iShield Key 2 series is designed to meet the highest security standards required. Employing a FIPS 140-3 level 3 certified cryptographic module (certificate 4679) and FIDO2 certified, the RSA iShield Key 2 series ensures that government systems are protected and compliant with White House Executive Order (EO) 14028, OMB M-22-09, and OMB M-24-14, which require federal agencies to secure cloud services, develop and implement Zero Trust architecture (ZTA), and deploy multi-factor authentication (MFA). Together, the iShield Key 2 FIPS series and the RSA ID Plus platform support these efforts, delivering robust security compliance by default with solutions that are secure by design.
The RSA ID Plus and the RSA iShield Key 2 series provide key benefits to federal agencies, including:
- Compliance with federal standards: FIPS 140-3 certified cryptographic module, meeting the latest U.S. government requirements for cryptographic security.
- Zero Trust identity protection: RSA ID Plus integrates a range of identity security capabilities—including contextual, risk-based authentication, mobile passkeys, and ID verification—to advance ZTA and protect every component of your organization.
- Seamless passwordless experience: With FIDO2 certification, the RSA iShield Key 2 series supports a secure and frictionless passwordless journey across all federal systems.
- Control and flexibility: Manage and deploy passkeys with ease, tailored to the specific needs of federal agencies.
- Trusted by government: Built to withstand the rigorous security demands of U.S. federal agencies and certified under FedRAMP, ensuring compliance with the highest government security standards.
