HP (NYSE: HPQ) -- HP Enterprise Services today announced it has
been selected by SecureKey Technologies, Inc. as a subcontractor to
provide enterprise cloud services to host the United States Postal
Service's (USPS) new authentication infrastructure.
The U.S. government's Federal Cloud Credential Exchange (FCCX),
which enables online access to multiple federal agencies, will
offer individuals and organizations secure access to federal
websites and online services through existing, approved digital
identification credentials.
Under the contract, HP will deliver HP Enterprise Cloud Services
- Virtual Private Cloud for U.S. Public Sector, a Federal Risk and
Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) authorized service, to
host SecureKey's briidge.net Exchange application for the
implementation of FCCX. Part of the HP Converged Cloud portfolio,
HP Enterprise Cloud Services deliver the benefits of a cloud-based
approach without sacrificing the security required for
mission-critical workloads.
"Security and privacy are absolutely critical for the delivery
and accessibility of online citizen services by means of FICAM
credentials," said Scott Lowry, general manager, U.S. Public Sector
and Health Care, SecureKey. "The FCCX offers a superb example of
how public-private partnerships can work effectively to help
agencies achieve ambitious objectives securely. We are delighted to
be working with HP to host the briidge.net Exchange Platform."
The National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace
(NSTIC) and the Federal Identity, Credential and Access Management
(FICAM) initiative call on all agencies to establish FCCX in an
effort to broaden government acceptance of approved third-party
credentials of varying strengths and types.
"Agencies are faced with delivering the next level of customer
service as citizens are increasingly looking to the federal
government to provide services online," said Marilyn Crouther,
senior vice president and general manager, U.S. Public Sector, HP
Enterprise Services. "HP is committed to supporting federal cloud
computing initiatives like USPS' innovative implementation of FCCX
by delivering enterprise solutions that are built with security and
flexibility in mind."
