    Title
    Posted
    The Department of the Interior (DOI) intends to procure a specialized Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) solution from Bull Horn Technologies, the sole U.S. reseller of the CyberSafe TrustBroker product. This decision arises because DOI cannot directly procure from the UK-based CyberSafe and requires a system that accommodates Single-Sign-On (SSO) options for its SAP BW Modelling/Eclipse integrated development environment tool. The TrustBroker product uniquely supports DOI's smart card functionality without necessitating additional infrastructure, which could complicate implementation and increase costs. The exploration of alternative SAP SSO solutions revealed limitations, including the lack of active development of SAP SSO 3.0 and challenges in acquiring the necessary software, alongside issues with the cloud-based SAP Secure Login Service. Consequently, the DOI’s market research underscored that TrustBroker remains the most suitable option to satisfy agency needs in compliance with various federal laws regarding security measures, enhancing the system's overall health effectively. This procurement approach highlights DOI's strategy to ensure compliance and functionality while navigating vendor limitations and regulations.
