Introducing NomadID: Mission-Ready Identity Management for Federal Agencies in DDIL Scenarios

September 23, 2025
|
Duration:

NomadID provides adaptable single sign-on and security for DOD agencies in disconnected and low-bandwidth scenarios.

Disconnected, Denied, Intermittent, Low-Bandwidth (DDIL) and air-gapped network environments are common, and sometimes required, in Department of Defense (DOD) environments. Units may deliberately choose to operate in DDIL environments, but equipment failures, outages, or hostile action can force them to operate in these environments. In either case, DOD units must retain access to critical systems to ensure mission success. This includes having a flexible and resilient Identity, Credentialing and Access Management (ICAM) solution that enables agencies to maintain uninterrupted application access during outages.

Created by Oxford Comptuter Group, a MajorKey Technologies Company, and partners, NomadID is designed to ensure uninterrupted authentication and single-sign-on (SSO) capabilities for agencies operating under challenging or disconnected conditions. It is a robust and versatile solution designed specifically to ensure the uninterrupted availability of authentication and single sign-on (SSO) capabilities for organizations operating under challenging conditions. This includes environments characterized by disconnections, intentional denials, intermittent connectivity, and/or limited bandwidth.

NomadID addresses the complexities agencies face when needing to operate efficiently under demanding conditions, providing a streamlined and reliable authentication experience. The solution helps agencies ensure security standards are met, even when faced with equipment failures, outages, or hostile action.

By focusing on this multifaceted approach, NomadID provides a seamless and reliable authentication experience that upholds security standards and user convenience – even when the network conditions are less than ideal.

The solution includes components for identity management, security monitoring, and identity governance, with a primary identity source and provisioning mechanisms for authentication and SSO for applications and services at the edge. The identity services are co-located with authentication components to provide identity management and governance in both connected and disconnected operations.

Solution Benefits

  • Uninterrupted Access and Operational Continuity: Ensures continuous authentication and SSO, even during outages or low-bandwidth conditions, minimizing downtime and keeping agencies operational and efficient.
  • Enhanced Security and Resilience: Reduces the risk of unauthorized access and protects against vulnerabilities during system failures with a robust backup mechanism that maintains secure identity management.
  • Adaptability Across Environments: Supports seamless access management in various conditions, including remote or disconnected environments, regardless of connectivity issues or geographical constraints.
  • Improved User Experience and Compliance: Provides a seamless login experience while meeting regulatory requirements and internal security policies with consistent access controls and audit trails.
  • Cost Efficiency: Reduces the negative impact of downtime by ensuring resilient identity management systems, decreasing the need for costly emergency interventions

Mastering Non-Human Identity Management: Challenges, Strategies, and Executive Alignment

Non-human identities (NHIs) such as service accounts, bots, and API keys operate autonomously across IT environments but often lack proper provisioning, lifecycle management, and oversight, making them a critical security risk. Effective NHI management requires inventory and ownership clarity, strict access controls based on least privilege, automated lifecycle management, continuous monitoring, and executive alignment to reduce breach risks and ensure compliance.

Key Takeaways from Identiverse 2025

Identiverse 2025 highlighted critical trends in identity and access management, including the urgent need for convergence between identity and network access, and the rise of AI agents and non-human identities (NHIs) as major security priorities. The conference emphasized that identity is now a central pillar of organizational strategy, requiring robust governance frameworks to manage AI agents and NHIs, which outnumber human identities by at least 20:1, and underscored the importance of identity resilience, continuous verification, and advanced technologies like behavioral biometrics and decentralized identity to restore trust in digital interactions.
