Electrosoft, a leader in Identity Management and Cybersecurity, is pleased to announce our Premier Sponsorship of the Potomac Forum Trust in Online Identities Educational Symposium to be held on Friday, May 16, 2014 at the Willard InterContinental Hotel in Washington, DC.
This symposium will include a discussion of Government requirements and initiatives for using digital credentials inside the Government and doing business with citizens in the new era of security awareness and privacy. The symposium will include information for federal, state and local government personnel and industry partners on the latest initiatives and activities to improve digital credentialing complying with current requirements with a focus on privacy issues. This is an important training event for all who develop, implement, manage or oversee the use of secure credentials or need to verify identity of citizens doing business with the government.
Mr. Joel Rader, who leads Electrosoft’s Identity, Credential and Access Management (ICAM) Practice Area, will speak on the topic of OMB M-11-11 and FICAM Overview and Benefits, to provide highlights of the OMB M-11-11 memorandum and the GSA FICAM Roadmap. Mr. Rader will provide insight into using FICAM to drive efficiencies as well improve security within Agency logical and physical access systems. He will also touch upon interoperability of identity credentials within the Government.
Dr. Sarbari Gupta, President and CEO of Electrosoft, will lead a panel to discuss a Holistic View of Initiatives to Promote Trusted Identities. Panelists will talk about their experiences and lessons learned on the implementation and effectiveness of various identity-related initiatives within the Government as well as the inter-relationships between these programs.
“We are honored to be working with Potomac Forum on this important educational event,” says Dr. Sarbari Gupta. “The widespread adoption of mechanisms to establish higher levels of trust in online identities will lead to safer cyber communities while promoting online business and higher levels of consumer confidence.”

Electrosoft is partnering with a number of industry-leading product vendors to integrate the best security technologies to support our customers’ missions. iTEST tackles some of the most challenging problems in our industry and demonstrates the value of integrating various COTS, GOTS and custom components to provide customers with the highest quality solutions and lowest cost of ownership.
