As senior privacy policy adviser for the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s Information Technology Lab, Naomi Lefkovitz ensures that privacy is an integral part of baked into key cybersecurity initiatives. Among them: The National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace (NSTIC), an initiative to improve the privacy, security and ease of doing online transactions.
A critical milestone of NSTIC is testing the concept in the federal space. The pilot launch of the Federal Cloud Credential Exchange is imminent and will eventually allow citizens to obtain usernames and passwords from trusted providers that would be accepted by other agencies.
“You can integrate privacy with security and have both at the same time,” Lefkovitz said in an interview from her NIST office in Gathersburg, Md.
