Centrify Solutions
Federal Government Solutions
Centrify enables more than 60 defense and other federal agencies to secure and audit sensitive UNIX and Linux systems and lockdown Mac OS workstations by leveraging their existing Active Directory infrastructure
Just as important, because Centrify leverages existing Active Directory infrastructure to centrally secure and audit non-Windows systems and applications, organizations can actually simplify their IT infrastructure and processes. With a single point of administration for accounts, access controls, privileges and policy for non-Windows systems and workstations, IT managers can implement security levels appropriate to their individual organization's needs and more easily accomplish the reporting and auditing tasks required for certification and accreditation of their processes.

|---|---|---|
| Regulation/Initiative | Centrify's Solution | Learn More |
| Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA) | Centrify's access control, privilege management and auditing solutions help federal agencies address key FISMA provisions as recommended in NIST SP 800-53, including sections AC (Access Control), AU (Audit and Accountability), CM (Configuration Management) and IA (Identification and Authentication). | FISMA Compliance & Auditing Solution FISMA Compliance & Auditing White Paper |
| JITC-Approved Two-Factor (Smart Card) Authentication for Mac OS X and Red Hat Linux | Homeland Security Presidential Directive 12 (HSPD-12) has driven the adoption of smart cards as the agreed-upon method for implementing more secure authentication to information systems. Centrify's support for the DoD's Common Access Card (CAC) standard, which is certified by the Joint Interoperability Test Command (JITC), brings Mac OS X and Red Hat Linux systems into compliance with HSPD-12. For those who just need smart card authentication only on Mac OS X, Centrify provides a free solution, Centrify Express for Smart Card. | Centrify's JITC certification Centrify's listing in the JITC directory Centrify's JITC Certification Letter Smart Card Authentication Solution Free Centrify Express for Mac Smart Card |
| National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual (NISPOM / DoD 5220.22-M) Chapter 8 | The NISPOM defines procedures that government contractors must adopt to access classified information. Section 8-303 in particular requires that users access systems using accounts that uniquely identify them and that these identities be tied to auditable actions. Centrify DirectControl and DirectAudit work together to establish this accountability. | Centrify DirectControl Centrify DirectAudit |
| Federal Information Processing Standard FIPS 140-2 Validated (Certificate #1604) | FIPS 140-2 documents the requirements for cryptographic modules included in third-party software and hardware that federal agencies and regulated industries use for handling sensitive but non-classified information. Centrify is validated FIPS 140-2 Level 1. | FIPS 140-2 Validated |
| Federal Desktop Core Configuration (FDCC) | Although Mac OS X systems are not included in the FDCC, agencies can use Centrify's desktop lockdown capabilities to proactively develop FDCC-like security configurations for their Mac systems. | Mac OS Desktop Management Group Policy for Mac OS X |
| DoD Information Assurance Certification and Accreditation Process (DIACAP) | Centrify solutions for role-based privilege management will be useful in the accreditation process, particularly requirements for authorizing the operation of DoD information systems. | Role-Based Access Control with Centrify DirectAuthorize |
| Isolation of Sensitive Systems and Encryption of Data-in-Motion (IPv6 Adoption) |
The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has mandated the adoption of IPv6 for, among other things, its ability to establish authenticated connections among systems and to encrypt data moving across IP networks. Centrify DirectSecure provides a streamlined and easy-to-deploy solution that enables server isolation and encryption of data-in-motion for UNIX and Linux systems. | Server Isolation & Protection Encryption of Data-in-Motion Centrify DirectSecure |
| Department of Defense Information Technology Security Certification and Accreditation Process (DITSCAP) National Information Assurance Certification and Accreditation Process (NIACAP) |
DITSCAP (for DoD agencies) and NIACAP (for civilian agencies) prescribe a set of standards and processes for certifying and accrediting an information system's information assurance (IA) and security posture. NIST SP 800-53's guidance for FISMA is also generally used to formulate the specifics of an information system's security posture for the purposes of gaining DITSCAP, NIACAP and similar certification. Therefore, systems using the Centrify Suite for FISMA compliance will find that our auditing and reporting features also bolster these certification activities as well. | FISMA Compliance & Auditing Solution FISMA Compliance & Auditing White Paper |
| Section 508 Compliance | Centrify has conducted a Section 1194.21 voluntary self-assessment to describe how the Centrify Suite's Administrator Console, an MMC snap-in, addresses Section 508 standards for making information technology accessible to people with disabilities. | Statement of Product Accessibility Compliance with Section 508 |
