Anakam plays a key role as national security and intelligence programs seek to build a trust relationship with a broad base of end users to improve information sharing. One of the greatest complexities in sharing information, even at the controlled unclassified information (CUI) level, is making sure that two key elements are met: first, what assurances can we have that only those we want in the information sharing system can get into the system; and second, how can I trust that the person who posted the information to the system is a trustworthy source? With Anakam.TFA® Two Factor Authentication we have overcome these two barriers – now we know who is in the system accessing the information and who is sharing information. Additionally, Anakam leverages our identity proofing and verification solution to add people to the network when we would otherwise require face-to-face identity proofing or simply rely on referential access with email providing connectivity between the nominator, validator, and requestor.

Sharing Information with External Stakeholders
Anakam.TFA® provides a means by which defense and intelligence organizations can share information with external stakeholders and significantly improve confidence that it is only accessed by those authorized to access it. Based on the level of risk and user settings, Anakam.TFA® distributes a one-time passcode through multiple out-of-band channels - including SMS to a cell phone, interactive voice response to a landline or cell, email or voice biometrics. This allows the organizations to easily invoke and revoke electronic credentials to coalition partners for international information sharing. We also provide strong authentication for other stakeholders like spouses, dependents, contractors, and vendors. They can easily be identified thought Anakam.IDP® and then allowed access without issuing any special equipment. Reservists and Guard personnel benefit from Anakam also when they are at home or a civilian workplace since they do not need anything extra to gain access to secure information though Anakam strong authentication.

Most defense and intelligence agencies will continue to require face-to-face identity proofing to gain access to information sharing systems. Anakam understands this and integrates with existing enterprise identity proofing processes, however, we also have the ability to enhance and expand the potential user group on demand through the use of our remote identity proofing (Anakam.IDP®) and identity verification (Anakam.IDV®) software. Anakam.SCE™ Secure Collaboration Environment provides the final component of an end-to-end assurance lifecycle. Once authenticated, Anakam.SCE™ provides the compartmentalized controls for collaboration toolsets like instant messenger, wikis, and document management systems that afford web access. Now, agencies no longer have to brief everybody “system high”; alternatively, access can be granted to and from collaboration tools using identity-based access controls unique to each individual.
