Palo Alto Networks, Inc.: Idira Identity Security Government Services Platform

The Idira™ Identity Security Government Services Platform by Palo Alto Networks is a comprehensive solution designed to secure identities across the entire IT ecosystem, ensuring government agencies can confidently protect their most critical assets. By integrating privileged access management (PAM), access management (AM), the platform delivers a unified approach to identity security that aligns with federal compliance requirements.

The Idira Identity Security Government Services Platform is a FedRAMP High Authorized solution that integrates Privileged Access Management (PAM), Access Management (AM) into a unified identity security platform for federal agencies. The platform enforces least privilege, secures privileged credentials, and manages access across on-premises, cloud, and hybrid federal environments in alignment with NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5, FISMA, and EO 14028 Zero Trust requirements.

The platform provides robust capabilities to secure human identities, enforce least privilege, and manage access across complex infrastructures. It includes advanced tools for securing privileged credentials, automating identity lifecycle management, and applying adaptive authentication policies based on risk. Key features include:

● Privileged Access Management (PAM): Secure, monitor, and manage privileged accounts and sessions to prevent unauthorized access and mitigate insider threats. Includes capabilities such as credential vaulting, session isolation, and real-time session recording with keystroke logging.

● Access Management (AM): Enable secure access to applications, devices, and infrastructure with single sign-on (SSO), multi-factor authentication (MFA), and lifecycle management. Supports protocols like SAML, OpenID Connect (OIDC), and SCIM for seamless integration with third-party applications.

● Hybrid and Multi-Cloud Support: Provides secure access and identity management across on-premises, cloud, and hybrid environments, with support for AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and private cloud infrastructures.

The Idira Identity Security Government Services Platform is designed to meet the unique needs of government organizations, providing a scalable, secure, and compliant solution to protect against evolving cyber threats.

Idira Identity Security Government Services Platform: Unified Access & Identity Management

Idira Identity Security Government Services Platform is a cloud-based platform that unifies essential services like Single Sign-On (SSO) and Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) into a single interface. Designed for Government Organizations, it secures access to critical resources (applications, devices, IaaS, PaaS, and VPNs) across on-premises, cloud, and hybrid environments.

SSO and Application Gateway: The platform features a catalog with thousands of pre-configured application connections. Administrators can easily add custom applications via templates using SAML, OpenID Connect (OIDC), OAuth2, WS-FED, or traditional credentials. For legacy environments, the App Gateway provides secure, VPN-less access to on-prem applications, allowing for granular, per-user, and per-application access control.

Phishing-Resistant MFA and High-Assurance Authentication: Idira supports a broad range of authentication methods, including FIDO2/Passkeys, Security Keys, Smart Cards, and Magic Links. These protections extend across the entire infrastructure, covering Windows and Mac workstations, servers, virtual desktops, VPNs, RADIUS servers, and 3rd-party IDPs. Adaptive MFA enhances this by evaluating real-time risk signals such as device posture, location, and network context, to apply dynamic, situation-aware authentication policies.

Unified Directory Services and Hybrid Integration: Idira provides a hybrid architecture that unifies Active Directory, LDAP, and cloud-native users into a single source of truth. By utilizing a secure, outbound-only connector, agencies can bridge on-premises repositories for real-time
