It’s been called an unfunded mandate and a train wreck, but Homeland Security Presidential Directive 12 (a.k.a. HSPD-12), which makes it the policy of the U.S. government to conduct background checks on all employees and issue a common access smart card for both physical and network access, is likely to foster one of the most significant improvements in security in the last decade.

Here I talk with Vijay Takanti, vice president of security services at Exostar, about the benefits of HSPD-12 and how federal agencies can leverage the requirements to do everything from save money to streamline information sharing.
