Department of Defense

The Department of Defense's enterprise Identity Credential and Access Management initiative is transitioning from traditional security models to modern authentication frameworks to address critical vulnerabilities identified in federal systems. This move is essential to counter evolving cyber threats without compromising collaborative capabilities. The initiative includes the creation of the DoD ICAM Federation Hub, which allows identity systems across military branches to provide cross-system security enforcement, eliminating delays and connection issues for warfighters.
