Episode 118: NSTIC pilot winner Commonwealth of Pennsylvania

Rounding out the last pilot winner for the National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace is the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Regarding ID’s Gina Jordan spoke with Frank Morrow, program manager for identity and access management for the commonwealth, about its plans to use the $1.1 million award to knock down various agency identity silos. “Hopefully we will have our citizens being able to interact with our government in a more seamless manner without all the silos that they currently have to deal with,” Morrow explains. “Within our own government we have a lot of duplicative efforts here – both maintaining all the different systems that track the users, the user populations that are coming to them, as well as validating their identities and making sure we’re dealing with the people they claim to be.”
