Infrastructure Optimization
Microsoft Identity Management for federal agencies
Despite directives and regulations such as HSPD-12/FIPS 201 and FISMA, and a heightened focus on security throughout the federal government, most defense and civilian agencies are still struggling with how best to resolve the challenges of identity management. While many have begun to use smart cards to identify who is accessing buildings and information, most organizations have yet to integrate smart cards into human resources and logical access systems. This lack of integration has led to confusion and ineffective identity management.
