The pace of AI adoption is accelerating the need to adopt a robust identity framework

from The Federal Drive with Terry Gerton

For a long time now, agencies have been grappling with cybersecurity challenges around identity. But artificial intelligence is making things even more complicated. The quick pace of AI adoption – and the need to secure “non-human identities” in addition to human users – has further cemented the need for agencies to adopt a robust, modern identity framework. Jennifer Franks is director for IT and cybersecurity at the Government Accountability Office, and Manny Medrano is the director of the Global Security Operations Center at the State Department. They talked about the challenge during a panel discussion with Federal News Network’s Justin Doubleday.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
