Pathfinder: Life Without The CAC?

In today’s COVID-19 world the cybersecurity attack surface is changing as network access is moved out of the walled boundaries of organizations into clouds, as well as directly to individual homes of active and retired military personnel. Computers, smartphones, tablets, and other devices that connect to military networks all have one vulnerability in common—the username-and-password login process.

In this Pathfinder, we examine how the DoD is working to address that reality through the use of hardware security keys that are an alternative to the well-known Personal Identity Verification (PIV) credential or the Common Access Card (CAC). The New York Air National Guard is on the forefront of testing this technology in the military and we look at their program.
