The Columbia County Sheriff’s Office has evolved its approach to protecting information by verifying the identities of everyone who accesses the network or the Agency’s computers. To boost its cyber security, the Sheriff’s Office partnered with a provider best known for physical access credentials, but now with a comprehensive digital identity portfolio: HID Global, a provider of trusted identity solutions. The result will prevent the theft and fraudulent use of Agency personnel digital identities.
To comply with the FBI’s Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) security policy, law enforcement officials are now required to incorporate advanced authentication into the process of accessing criminal background information. Just like the thousands of sheriff’s offices across the United States that need to meet the requirements, the Columbia County Sheriff’s Office in Florida had to come into compliance.
