one of the leading IAM solution providers.<\/p>\n<p>According the the article, &#8220;The key to creating such an environment is identity and access management (IAM) technology, which needs to be both strong and usable to allow personnel to work securely and effectively.&#8221;  Mr. Miles said the DoD is currently doing everything it can to eliminate single sign-on IDs and passwords, which are vulnerable to theft and cracking. \u201cIdeally, a soldier would come to work \u2014 even if in theater \u2014 insert their CAC, enter their PIN and have access to all the resources with the specific authorization level required for their role,\u201d he said. \u201cOne login, all resources, all the time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Conversely, the article delvesin the the critical limitation of CAC technology, &#8220;particularly in tactical-edge environments, where card readers can be scarce or difficult to use.&#8221;
