Dept. of Veterans Affairs picks Anakam to provide trusted authentication
San Diego, CA-based Anakam's two-factor authentication (TFA) has gotten the nod from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) as the enterprise authentication tool for remote access to VA systems.
The company calls it a "key enabling technology to help the VA provide more veteran-centric benefit and healthcare services online."
In addition, Anakam says, the technology will help the VA and other federal agencies comply with federal laws, regulations and guidelines, and with healthcare authentication standards for the protection of personally identifiable information and protected health information.
The improved authentication, part of VA’s overall identity management strategy, will enable trusted online access to online services for veterans and other external VA constituents. This will extend the comprehensive reach of the VA services to an even larger audience while at the same time improving the timeliness of benefits (claims) adjudication, quality of benefits delivery, improved efficiency and transparency, and reduced fraud, Anakam says.
The company also notes that, In addition to the impact on the VA applications specifically, Anakam TFA will play a role in joint VA and Department of Defense information sharing efforts, particularly during a veteran's transition from service to post-service activities.
