Axiomatics Federal, Inc., the leader in fine-grained dynamic authorization for customers and partners of the federal government, recently unveiled data security trends and challenges for federal agencies as we approach 2020.

A recent press release states that, “federal agencies are facing new Identity and Security challenges as they transition many workloads to cloud-based platforms,” said Gerry Gebel, President Axiomatics Federal, Inc. “Federal agencies require modern tools and techniques to protect sensitive digital assets, but also must appropriately share the right data across departments, across agencies and with citizens.” Axiomatics Federal, Inc.

It continued with, “federal agencies are migrating their data and other application resources to the cloud because cloud platforms provide simple, flexible and affordable data storage systems compared to legacy database solutions. Platform specific security capabilities may not be sufficient to address all requirements, particularly for agencies/departments that adopt a multi-cloud architecture. Dynamic Authorization implementations provide a common and consistent access model across and within cloud platforms.”

And, “leveraging microservices, service meshes and APIs to access sensitive or confidential data is now commonplace in government applications. Scenarios that require fine-grained access can utilize a comprehensive approach to access control by combining OAuth and Dynamic Authorization. Working together, OAuth and Dynamic Authorization enable the proper management and governance of access scopes and cleaner APIs that are not overloaded with security logic. Authorization deployed as a microservice is also an advantage for government agencies because it fits well within a DevSecOps process.”
