The Patriot Act of 2001 served as a catapult for advancing technology within the USG to overcome policy and agency trust issues that were barriers to effectively safeguarding the homeland from national security threats and violent crime. Followed by a series of Presidential Directives and the reality that many dangerous people in the world would like to cause harm to the US and our international partners the federal government has made great strides in collaboration. The results of federal and international efforts provide a comprehensive identity screening solution that assists in preventing atrocious tragedies like those that occurred on September 11th. But the world remains a perilous place and the threat landscape continues to evolve. Data grows in a variety of forms at each of the agencies requiring further advancements in technology and cooperation. This panel will discuss interoperability achievements and challenges with a focus on the critical new threats that require continued interagency cooperation.
