FIPS Validated vs FIPS Compliant: What's the Difference & Why does it Matter for Vendor Remote Access?

Privileged access provided to third party vendors, government contractors, and remote workers tends to be a weak link at most agencies. The problem with relying on VPNs for vendor access is that they cannot be granularly controlled and audited. That presents a huge security blind spot, as well as compliance issues. So, what’s the alternative?

Please join BeyondTrust SVP of Public Sector, Craig McCullough and Senior Product Manager, Duane Simms in this webinar to learn the:

• Risks of using VPNs for third-party access and remote employees who require privileged access
• Substantive difference between a FIPS Validated solution versus a FIPS Compliant solution
• Best practices for securing privileged remote access for vendors, contractors, and employees
