Certification: Many of you may be unaware of the challenges involved in getting software certified and accredited to run on the U.S. government's various secure networks. After each does its own intensive due diligence related to the security of your product, agencies may then issue an "Interim Authority to Operate" on their networks with the understanding that you are genuinely on the path toward the requisite certifications. But you must follow through.
Why? "Effective 1 July 2002, U.S. Government Departments and Agencies will be required to aquire, for use on national security systems, only those IA and IA-enabled products that have been evaluated or validated in accordance with the requirements of NSTTISSP No. 11, and its associated programs and processes."
This news is a very big deal for us, and represents the collective work and diligence of many Groove employees. Thanks and congratulations to all. 8:19:37 AM
