A Non-Human Identity and Cryptographic Management Platform for Government Agencies
‍

Protect classified & critical data with world-class non-human identity and cryptography management

With the surge of cyber threats, government agencies are facing an unprecedented increase of intelligent, adaptive cyber threats. These threats are moving at AI-speed; and you need a solution that keeps pace.

AQtive Guard offers a unified platform specifically designed to manage and protect both cryptographic assets and NHIs – encompassing applications, services, devices, and AI agents. Because in today’s cyber landscape, the enemy isn’t just out there - it’s ahead. 

Why AQtive Guard?

Why government agencies need stronger non-human identity and cryptography management

Classified data exposure

Threat actors target government servers for nation-state intelligence, military plans, and personal citizen information.

Regualtory & compliance mandates

Agencies must align with FIPS, FedRAMP, CMMC, NIST SP 800-53, and other strict frameworks.

Complex, fragmented systems

Legacy infrastructure often coexists with modern cloud, leading to blind spots in both identity and cryptographic coverage.

57% of organizations lack a complete non-human identity and cryptographic inventory, which can create exploitable security gaps. Get end-to-end oversight with AQtive Guard.

How does the government use cryptography and manage identities?

Government agencies rely heavily on cryptography to protect classified information, secure communications (including inter-agency and citizen interactions), and safeguard critical infrastructure. Increasingly, this also involves securing the Non-Human Identities (NHIs) of the applications, services, devices, and AI agents that access sensitive data and systems.

Agencies adhere to stringent standards like FIPS 140-2/3 for security modules and NIST-approved cryptographic methods. Frameworks like FedRAMP and CMMC extend these requirements to contractors.

With sophisticated nation-state threats and the rise of AI introducing new risks, managing both cryptographic posture and the lifecycle of associated NHIs is crucial. AQtive Guard helps government agencies and their suppliers gain unified visibility into both cryptographic assets and NHIs, automate compliance against federal standards, perform AI-driven root cause analysis, orchestrate remediation, and prepare for the transition to post-quantum cryptography (PQC) as mandated. by recent federal directives.

What is the role of cryptography and identity management for government agencies?

In the public sector, cryptography is fundamental for securing classified data, critical communications, and citizen records through encryption, secure key management, and digital certificates. It ensures the confidentiality and integrity of sensitive information. Equally important is managing the Non-Human Identities (NHIs) associated with these cryptographic elements, ensuring only authorized systems and applications can operate. Effective management of both helps agencies meet mandated regulations like FIPS and NIST SP 800-53 while securing increasingly complex digital operations.

How do I choose the best security platform for government agencies?

When selecting a platform to manage cryptography and Non-Human Identities (NHIs) government agencies should look for a solution that:

  • Discovers cryptographic assets across legacy and modern systems.
  • Automates compliance tracking against government standards (FIPS, CMMC, etc.).
  • Provides real-time monitoring and vulnerability detection.
  • Integrates seamlessly with existing security infrastructure.
  • Supports on-premises or air-gapped deployments for classified environments.
  • Provides unified discovery and inventory of both cryptographic assets and NHIs across legacy and modern systems (cloud, on-prem, hybrid). 
  • Leverages AI for deep analysis to identify root causes of vulnerabilities across assets, identities, and applications.  
  • Automates compliance tracking and generates audit-ready reports against government standards (FIPS, CMMC, NIST) for the unified security posture.  
  • Offers real-time monitoring and automated detection/remediation workflows for vulnerabilities related to both cryptography and NHIs.  
  • Integrates seamlessly with existing security infrastructure and IT systems.  
  • Supports various deployment models including options for classified environments.
  • Includes readiness and planning capabilities for the transition to Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC).

AQtive Guard delivers these integrated capabilities, offering a comprehensive platform for unified NHI and cryptography management tailored for government agencies.

What are the benefits of using a cryptography management platform in government?
  • Enhanced Security: Detect and remediate vulnerabilities across both cryptographic assets and Non-Human Identities (NHIs) faster, defending critical national infrastructure and data against evolving threats.  
  • Streamlined Compliance: Simplify audits and continuously demonstrate alignment with FIPS, FedRAMP, CMMC, NIST, and other mandates through unified reporting.  
  • Operational Efficiency: Reduce manual effort and risk by automating the lifecycle management of certificates and other credentials.  
  • Reduced Downtime: Prevent disruptions to public services caused by expired certificates, misconfigurations, or compromised NHIs.  
  • Mission Assurance: Maintain public trust and operational integrity by securing sensitive government data and systems against diverse threats, including those targeting NHIs and leveraging AI.
