  Strengthen Mobile Security with Adaptive Risk Based Authenticat

  Federal Agencies should consider using multi factor authentication and risk based authentication, similar to what the mobile banking industry as adopted. The challenge with mobile devices, is that they can be easily lost, stolen or in some cases even hacked. Strong credential based authentication is not enough to stop unwanted access. Adding a risk- based challenge layer behind existing authentication can greatly increase ...more »

  Federal Agencies should consider using multi factor authentication and risk based authentication, similar to what the mobile banking industry as adopted. The challenge with mobile devices, is that they can be easily lost, stolen or in some cases even hacked. Strong credential based authentication is not enough to stop unwanted access. Adding a risk- based challenge layer behind existing authentication can greatly increase the level of security minimal impact to the user experience. Techniques like device fingerprinting, Secondary Question/Answer Logic, One-Time Password (OTP), Behavior Profiling, and the use of Risk Based Data Mining are a few ideas for federal agencies to explore before exposing internal data to mobile devices.

  EPA Mobile Strategy - Provide Data not Mobile Apps

  The EPA has adopted a new mobile strategy, where they see themselves as the providers of data and environment information, but they are not the developers of mobile applications. The EPA recently ran a Apps Challenge where “Apps for the Environment” was a contest for software developers to find new ways to combine and deliver environmental data in new apps. Submissions to the challenge were required to use EPA data, ...more »

  The EPA has adopted a new mobile strategy, where they see themselves as the providers of data and environment information, but they are not the developers of mobile applications. The EPA recently ran a Apps Challenge where “Apps for the Environment” was a contest for software developers to find new ways to combine and deliver environmental data in new apps. Submissions to the challenge were required to use EPA data, address one of Administrator Lisa Jackson’s Seven Priorities, and be useful to communities or individuals. EPA then was able to pick the best apps and publish them to the public. For more info on the program, and the winners, go to http://www.epa.gov/appsfortheenvironment/ where you can download the winner’s apps submissions and see videos of how the EPA conducted the Apps Environment Challenge. The feedback I received from the EPA was that they would never had imagine creating the apps that were submitted. The diversity and creativity of the contests submissions were amazing, and highlighted what EPA should really be doing with regards to Mobile Apps Development. Each Agency should consider issuing a similar challenge to the private developers to create mobile apps for a particular public need or function. The results and submissions, will probably exceed each Agencies expectations.

  Mobility Strategy – Remain Device Independent/Adopt HMTL5

  One of the best mobility strategies for the US Federal Government is to adopt a mobile policy that is device independent. By adopting standards like HTML 5, developers can develop once and deploy to multiple devices. This would protect the Government’s technology investments, and would provide the Government with the most flexibility in terms of dealing with new and unforeseen technology advancements. The mobile computing ...more »

  One of the best mobility strategies for the US Federal Government is to adopt a mobile policy that is device independent. By adopting standards like HTML 5, developers can develop once and deploy to multiple devices. This would protect the Government’s technology investments, and would provide the Government with the most flexibility in terms of dealing with new and unforeseen technology advancements. The mobile computing space, is a rapidly changing environment, as evident in today’s mobile marketplace. We are seeing the decline of the Blackberry Device, which was once unthinkable, the rise in popularity for the Google Android platform, and the new emergence of new technologies like APPLE TV, and Google TV. The mobility marketplace is extremely competitive and dynamitic, making it difficult to foresee and predict what device or platform is the next “BIG THING”. So my suggestion, is to adopt Standards like HTML 5 with a “Device Independence” as guiding principal for government mobile policy.
