Pulse Secure for Government
Federated visibility and control for Smart Government
Visibility and Assurance for e-Public Services (Civic public services)
Seeking to improve citizen services for the digital individual, leaders of “smart cities” are re-inventing and streamlining today’s public services. Local experiments include “smart parking” that helps commuters find spots (and streamlines city enforcement) via their in-dash navigation or smartphone. To ensure an appropriate and consistent level of security, government IT organizations must demonstrate and maintain compliance with a large and growing number of regulations, directives, and standards.
Challenges:
Civic-ready Secure Access
Multi-tier 'Acceptable Use' security policies across federal, state and local branches for public sector employees, contractors, and citizens.
Cyber Readiness Inspection
Comprehensive policy-based access control that offers real-time monitoring and automated remediation.
Interoperability to Existing Networking Infrastructure
e-Government mandates interoperability for improved efficiency, transparency, accountability, and access. Policy Secure interoperates with any vendor's standards-compliant switching and wireless infrastructure. We have enhanced vendor-specific customization for integration with Cisco, Aruba, Ruckus.
