Case Study: US Defense Contractor achieves enhanced security and usability, preventing credential theft with Axiad Cloud and Axiad ID

Defense Contractor Enhances Security And Usability With Axiad Solutions

US Defense Contractor faced password-based security incidents and looming requirements like NIST-SP800-171 and CMMC while managing a legacy, high-maintenance credential system that frustrated users and IT. To meet strict security standards without adding user or administrative burden, the organization selected Axiad—deploying Axiad Cloud for unified credential management and Axiad ID for mobile multi-factor authentication.

Axiad moved the contractor to a virtual private cloud with advanced encryption, centralized management of smart cards and mobile authenticators, and a self‑service user portal. As a result, Axiad’s solution prevented multiple credential-theft attempts, reduced IT maintenance so teams could focus on strategic projects, improved employee login experience, and positioned the contractor to meet NIST and CMMC requirements.
