The U.S. government has released the second version of its National Cybersecurity Strategy Implementation Plan (NCSIP), and digital ID has re-entered the picture, albeit briefly. A White House press release says the updated roadmap outlines actions to improve U.S. national cybersecurity posture, including “high-impact Federal initiatives, each intended to substantively increase our collective digital security and systemic resilience.”
Strategic Objective 4.5 is “Support Development of a Digital Identity Ecosystem,” which comes with a promise of federal investment in “strong, verifiable digital identity solutions that promote security, accessibility and interoperability, financial and social inclusion, consumer privacy, and economic growth.”
