Mr. Bryan Coapstick
Director, Mobile Innovations
HP Enterprise Services, U.S. Public Sector

A successful mobile strategy means connecting people to each other or to the applications and information they need. You begin by focusing on getting a better, more intimate understanding of your customers. I define customers very broadly, as too often people get hung up on B2C, B2B, and B2E. Regardless if they are my employer or my customer, my audience members drive and determine what they think is useful, valuable, and desirable—and that is the cornerstone of any successful mobility strategy.  If we focus on the cornerstones of the user experience, there is no limit to the positive impact that can be delivered to society as a whole, whether it is transforming a patient’s experience, or helping a mother order dinner on her way home from work .

HP is also one of the first Commercial Service Provider’s to receive a FedRAMP ^(SM) JAB authorization which highlights our commitment to delivering secure converged cloud to our public sector clients. We also recently received a contract award with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for their Continuous Diagnostics Mitigation (CMD) Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA). I am particularly excited about the HP Continuous Monitoring (CM) solution designed to provide clients with actionable intelligence regarding their current enterprise risk posture, and look forward to exploring the feasibility of offering CM as a Service in the future to help offset IT capital expenditures .

Up until now, anytime a company wanted to embed biometric security into their systems and applications, they had to first buy licenses and hardware, complete a systems set-up, hire IT staff, and start on a lengthy development and deployment project. Our work with ImageWare enables us to deliver a SaaS-based solution – or “BioID as a Service”. Now, your BioID projects can be implemented in days, not months, and you only pay for what you use, eliminating the need for large capital investments up front. This is a game-changer for security enablement. . More

CM represents a maturation of information technology. Over the past 15 to 20 years, various tools have been created to address individual problems, such as perimeter protection, endpoint protection, data loss prevention and so on. Once implemented, the tools are presumed to be doing the job. Therefore, original information assurance programs were written to ensure these tools were present — not to ensure they were integrated and operating properly. CM represents the next logical step in this process —automated, continuous auditing of the cyber environment to ensure proper configuration along with proactive monitoring for threats and vulnerabilities. This will ensure security compliance resulting in the prioritization and initiation of actions required to further secure the governments’ information and systems. . More

Los Angeles World Airport is the flagship deployment for our next generation biometric identity management and advanced credentialing platform. When this solution is fully implemented—which we expect by Q4 2012—it will not only deliver a state of the art biometric-based airport credentialing solution, but will also ensure that the Los Angeles World Airports can adapt this credentialing solution to meet developing needs and evolving technology capabilities, thus "Future Proofing" their investment for the long term. Our BE 2.0 platform allows our clients to treat biometrics as a “plug-and-play” model while safeguarding the underlying data. Our recent selection in Ecuador to provide biometric credentials for the country’s seaports is a replication of this implementation in the Spanish language. More

Our dependency on services that are IP enabled is growing significantly and will continue to grow; from smart meters, power and water grids, train systems and every day devices such as units in cars, refrigerators and televisions.  The need to correctly identify and authenticate when they connect to the Internet will be of critical importance, particularly if we consider devices related to health.  In addition there is a need to ensure that they are capable of resisting cyber attack, as the impact of their unavailability could lead to serious economic effects..

ProtectID is sold to companies and government agencies to protect all of their employees and/or clients, consumers, consultants and anyone accessing their network, applications and data. ProtectID offers many methods of two-factor authentication inclusive of “Out-of-Band” authentication products that meet the regulations requirements, and according to the 2013 Verizon Data Breach Report, 80% of all the data breaches they reported would have been prevented if the companies breached purchased ProtectID and it still isn’t too late..

T-Systems as an Outsourcing & Service Provider has to provide base infrastructure services which meet the cost and quality expectations that a company transitioning to outsourced services would expect – better than they as an end-user could produce, with better quality, and lower cost!  In order to achieve that, T-Systems was one of the first Outsourcers to produce a “Cloud” platform, based on highly shared leveraged infrastructure, and with a number of pre-defined applications on top of that.  Today we have enhanced that infrastructure, and wrapped the Cloud functionality into it, all the way up to self-service (to application level) for our Private Cloud clients. .

With cloud infrastructure, servers are typically virtualized and shared across multiple lines of business or even among multiple organizations rather than dedicated to specific lines of business. When IT wants to link multiple cloud data centers together to gain efficiencies—the tools to secure this far-reaching infrastructure are still evolving. This lack of visibility – even in private clouds that are behind a company’s firewall - have people concerned because they no longer have dedicated equipment for their line of business and instead are using shared, multi-tenant resources. This is why 61% of IT that were surveyed are concerned about having less control and visibility over these shared resources, even in a private cloud. Intel and McAfee are working to address these challenges and advance security solutions for cloud services. More
