Cloud computing may be all the rage but agencies still face tricky challenges. Like, how thousands of individual users are identified and authorized to log on to their systems. One answer might be found in the Federal Cloud Credential Exchange, or F6. A pilot is still in the early stages of development, but there’s growing anticipation of how it could change the way agencies authenticate and authorize users of their systems.
The Postal Service awarded a $15 million contract to SecureKey Technologies in August to develop and run the initial F6 program. Just three months into the effort, agencies are eager to see the results. Federal News Radio Executive Editor Jason Miller told Tom and Emily why agencies are seeing the value in the cloud credential exchange.
