MCLEAN, Va., Jan. 13, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- WidePoint
Corporation (NYSE Mkt: WYY), a leading provider of secure,
cloud-based, enterprise-wide solutions and services in mobile
communications management and identity management solutions,
announces that it has combined the best privilege access management
product and a high-performance network-attached hardware security
module (HSM) to provide a fully compliant solution that controls
access, monitors, and records the activities of privileged users
across hybrid cloud environments.
"Xceedium is excited about our collaboration with WidePoint,"
said Glenn C. Hazard, Xceedium CEO
& Chairman. "An HSPD-12 ready solution that allows an existing
customer base to leverage their HSM investment is key to the broad
adoption of strong privileged user management necessary for the
protection of our nation's critical infrastructure."
This solution allows for easily defined and enforced security
policies for sensitive systems across traditional data centers,
virtualized infrastructure, and public and private clouds with
FIPS-compliant key management. This protection has become
particularly important in the wake of the NSA/Edward Snowden
breach, the latest and most public demonstration of the severe risk
privileged users pose and the massive damage they can cause without
the appropriate controls in place. As a managed service or turn-key
operation, WidePoint's PIVotal ID™ Privileged Management Portal
(PMP) vaults and manages credentials, federates identities, and
protects systems regardless of where they're located, helping to
reduce risk, ensure compliance, and lower administrative overhead
based on an organization's desired level of assurance.
"We are happy to add our newest partner, Xceedium, to the
WidePoint solution environment," said Steven L. Komar, WidePoint CEO & Chairman.
"The PIVotal ID PMP marks another milestone consistent with our
strategic investment in technology development and our goal of
providing best-in-class Managed Mobility Services and
Solutions."
