Prudent and transparent security is now a cost of doing business. Those that modernize now survive, those that don't, won't.

To modernize efficiently and effectively 1) Find a community that defines cyber security prudence and 2) Adopt enterprise architecture and project management practices to control your modernization initiatives.

Reaching beyond FIPS 201

We are encouraged by the efforts of GAO, OMB, and NIST to not stop at producing the card and move towards practical uses of the cards that will deliver on the promise of tangible value to the citizens.
