Change Summary Explanation
The funding change between FY 2023 and FY 2024 accounts for increased dollars received to enable the implementation of a Zero Trust architecture across the Department of Defense. The DoD CIO’s Zero Trust cybersecurity strategy and framework requires modernization of existing HSPD-12 and identity capabilities to enable the Department of Defense to establish identities and affiliations that can be leveraged for control decisions throughout the architecture to prevent malicious personas from accessing our most critical assets. Defense Manpower Data Center delivers core capability for the DoD enterprise. These funds will be utilized to support Identity and Credential Management development to include research and front-end development, focusing on user interactions with the system/infrastructure, for the modernized identity and credential solutions; expanding populations for online USID card renewals; and initial operating capability for a digital USID card.
