Smart devices, mobile phones and tablets are becoming the control hub for the myriad of connected devices and the Internet of Things (IoT) – as are bring-your-own-device (BYOD) policies in many organizations today. But this is creating unique and heightened security risks for IT professionals, such as higher exposure to data breaches, malware and compliance violations. BYOD is no longer an industry trend; it’s a fact of life for enterprise-wide operations and the IT organizations that must support them.
A common perception of many who have heard of the US Government’s Personal Identity Verification (PIV) credential is that this technology’s usefulness is limited to the US Government. This perception is incorrect.
By policy “PIV” credentials can only be issued to federal employees and some federal contractors. This policy has resulted in variations of the PIV credential for other use cases. The Commercial Identity Verification (CIV) credential is suitable for non-US Government use. Examples include commercial enterprises, state and local governments, foreign governments and critical infrastructure facilities.
The white paper, “Using PIV Technology outside of the US Government” describes how to identify if the PIV technology is right for your logical access and or physical access control applications.
