Colleagues,
Today I was part of an event at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) where President Obama signed a new Executive Order focused on consumer security.
Section 3 of the Order discusses NSTIC and securing Federal transactions online. The text is as follows:
Sec. 3.Securing Federal Transactions Online. To help ensure that sensitive data are shared only with the appropriate person or people, within 90 days of the date of this order, the National Security Council staff, the Office of Science and Technology Policy, and OMB shall present to the President a plan, consistent with the guidance set forth in the 2011 National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace, to ensure that all agencies making personal data accessible to citizens through digital applications require the use of multiple factors of authentication and an effective identity proofing process, as appropriate. Within 18 months of the date of this order, relevant agencies shall complete any required implementation steps set forth in the plan prepared pursuant to this section.
The full text of the Executive Order is at http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2014/10/17/executive-order-improving-security-consumer-financial-transactions
We’re very excited to see the President take this action – it’s a big step forward to accelerating the Federal government’s adoption of the Identity Ecosystem!
