Gemalto is providing multi-factor authentication to MOHELA, one of the largest student loan servicers in the U.S., with more than one million borrowers serviced. MOHELA selected Gemalto’s IDPrime .NET converged badge as their strong authentication solution to comply with the Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA). Under FISMA, it is mandatory for agencies funded by federal programs to use multi-factor authentication when accessing sensitive government data.
“A username and password alone is no longer an effective authentication security measure. While it is simpler for management, it leaves room for weak points of entry. Our Gemalto certificate-based solution offers a highly sophisticated technology and a significant improvement to our overall security,” said Don Bertier, MOHELA’s chief information officer. “With Gemalto’s support, we successful piloted the solution within our IT organization making the full rollout to all MOHELA employees a smooth transition.”
“Implementing our strong authentication technology, MOHELA has an all-in-one credential that employees can use to gain access to a building and for login to their workstations,” said Thomas Flynn, VP of sales for identity and access at Gemalto.
