Here's what law enforcement agencies across the country are saying about DigitalPersona
“The sheer size of our network places a tremendous strain on our Department’s IT staff as they work to enable secure access to criminal justice information,” said Bob Erdely, network security administrator, Phoenix Police Department. “The HID DigitalPersona solution helps us comply with the CJIS requirements, while making it easier for our users to create and manage secure passwords.”

“The nice thing about using HID technology for digital identity is that it’s a natural extension from HID’s physical access technology and we can use the same technology in the future for other applications, while making life easier,” said Anthony Wayne Craig, IT Director of the Columbia County Sheriff’s Office. “We will have the opportunity to expand down the road because we have built on a scalable and flexible platform for trusted identities. The CMS software is a primary reason we went with HID, which does much more than just Proximity cards and readers for physical access.”

Unpacking CJIS MFA Requirements
Safeguarding sensitive information is a challenge that cuts across industries, but the stakes are especially high for law enforcement offcials and agencies. The unauthorized access of data stored in incident reports and digital evidence can undermine criminal investigations, threaten reputations and put lives at risk. That’s why the FBI recently introduced more stringent requirements for authenticating users across different platforms and devices.
