Cyber security starts with secure identity

Cybersecurity

Addressing digital threats

New ways of working and leisure, and the digitalisation of our economy, are changing our daily lives against a backdrop of unprecedented challenges: cyber-warfare, massive theft of personal data, hijacking of digital services. Identity and trusted data exchange for consumers, businesses, public authorities and connected objects are becoming essential elements in ensuring the trust and sustainability of the digital society and economy.

Many companies wait until the very last minute to deploy a data protection solution, as it is often seen as a constraint for their users. This is because it requires one or two additional steps before remote resources can be accessed, and users do not always understand the issues surrounding cyber security.

Securing today's workforce with Zero Trust

In the face of increasingly sophisticated cyberthreats, the ‘Zero Trust’ security model is a must. This idea is based on the notion that no-one, whether a user or a device, is considered trustworthy by default. The rise of remote working and the increasing number of connected devices make this approach even more crucial. Robust management of digital identities is becoming essential to prevent unauthorised access and data breaches.

The Smart ID solution, from our reference brand Nexus, offers a complete PKI-based solution designed to secure digital identities within your organisation. Built on the principles of strong authentication, encryption and seamless integration, it provides the tools you need to protect sensitive information and maintain trust in your zero-trust digital ecosystem.

Why are secure identities really important?

Every device can be an entry point for cyber attackers, so identity protection is essential. The Zero Trust approach treats every access request as potentially suspect, strengthening the resilience of your IT infrastructure. Smart ID meets this need by securing both digital and physical access, ensuring that only verified users and devices can interact with your systems, but is not limited to authentication.

Smart ID offers complete management of the lifecycle of digital identities, from issuance to revocation. It offers centralised control over your organisation's identity management, reducing the complexity and risks associated with manual processes.

Strengthening identity security the easy way

Smart ID is more than just an authentication solution, it is a strategic investment in your organisation's security. Based on PKI technology, Nexus Smart ID ensures that your digital identities are protected by the highest standards of encryption and authentication. This means that if your employees access company resources remotely, send encrypted emails or sign digital documents, they can do so with the certainty that their identities are secure and Zero Trust compliant.

Smart ID stands out for its ability to manage the entire lifecycle of digital identities. From issuance to revocation and renewal, Smart ID offers centralised control over your organisation's identity management, reducing the complexity and risks associated with manual processes. This is particularly relevant in a zero-trust environment, where continuous identity verification is vital.

A future-proof security strategy

Based on proven PKI technology, Nexus Smart ID offers a sustainable solution that can adapt to new threats. It enables organisations to protect their digital identities, secure their communications and comply with regulations, while strengthening their resilience in the face of today's challenges.
