Cyber Defense Magazine, recognized for sharing cutting-edge knowledge for information security professionals, published an article from Electrosoft’s CEO, Dr. Sarbari Gupta. Entitled, “NextGen Identity Management: How to Harness Government Standards and Tech Innovations” the byline steps through some of the federal identity, credential, and access management (ICAM) challenges agencies face today – and the industry standards and technologies that are helping to strengthen identity management for government.

“Federal agencies face a pivotal cybersecurity challenge: prevent unauthorized entities from accessing systems and facilities, while granting authorized federal employees and contractors access commensurate with verified need,” writes Dr. Gupta. “Two factors complicate this objective: (1) relentless efforts by ever-more-sophisticated cybercriminals and (2) myriad agency systems, many antiquated with ill-defined interfaces that rely on outdated defense mechanisms.”

Fortunately, “technological advancements, combined with federal identity, credential, and access management (ICAM) standards and guidelines, offer federal agencies robust identity management tools.”

The full article appears in the August 2024 issue of Cyber Defense Magazine, starting on page 74.
