Securing public safety organizations with HID’s CJIS-certified MFA

In the law enforcement and public safety space, securing access to sensitive information is paramount. In this rapidly evolving digital landscape, your security infrastructure must be robust. Despite the urgent threats facing law enforcement and public safety organizations, many organizations struggle to protect their digital assets. In fact, as cyberthreats grow, surveys have show that many police departments are inadequately prepared for an attack. For instance, a survey by the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) found that over 85% of police departments lack sufficient cybersecurity training for their officers, highlighting a serious security deficit. As police and law enforcement agencies continuously implement evolving mobile technologies, sensitive citizen data, criminal history, and motor vehicle information is put more at risk.
