U.S. DoW Validates Foundation for CMMC-Compliant, Phishing-Resistant MFA

SOFTwarfare® validates CMMC-compliant, passwordless authentication and a rapid deployment architecture in a secure, simulated DoD environment.

The Challenge

The DoD program faced three complex modernization challenges: future-proofing numerous legacy systems for CMMC-compliant authentication despite their lack of native integration points; assuring operator identity and maintaining audit logs in disconnected (DDIL) environments; and enabling a rapid, repeatable deployment model that could scale across a vast and varied ecosystem, from cloud to fully air-gapped systems.

The Solution

SOFTwarfare executed a two-phased approach, beginning with the deployment of BioThenticate® in a secure Gov Cloud instance to validate its CMMC-compliant, phishing-resistant, and passwordless MFA capabilities. Following this successful validation, Phase 2 focused on operational readiness by bundling the software into a streamlined, preconfigured package, creating a rapid and repeatable deployment architecture that empowers DoD customers to deploy the solution in any environment and establishes the foundation for future legacy system integration and DDIL operations.

The Results

The engagement successfully provided the DoD with a clear path to modernization by validating BioThenticate® as a high-assurance, CMMC-compliant passwordless MFA solution within a secure, simulated environment. A rapid, repeatable deployment model was established using a pre-configured architecture, creating the critical foundation for the program's future roadmap of legacy system integration and extension into DDIL environments. Furthermore, the capabilities proven in this engagement informed the hardened design of SOFTwarfare’s commercial Zero Trust Identity® platform.
