federal, telework, telework policies - Air Force Research Laboratory: Lightweight Portable Security (LPS), Software Protection Initiative Program
Recipient of the 2010 Telework Exchange "Telework Program with Maximum Impact on Government" Tele-Vision Award The Software Protection Initiative offers a free, telework-friendly, portable tool that provides a safer, local environment for connecting to any network or cloud computing application. Lightweight Portable Security (LPS) creates a non-persistent computing environment from a mini-CD. LPS comes in two editions: LPS-Public for general browsing and the more secure LPS-Remote Access customized to access a specific organization's network. The free LPS-Public edition provides a safe, easy way to browse the Internet, access Department of Defense (DoD) Common Access Card (CAC)-enabled Web sites, and connect to remote networks without leaving a trace. To date, the U.S. Air Force has distributed more than 38,000 copies of LPS-Public. The LPS-Remote Access edition provides secure remote desktop access from an exceptionally locked-down operating system (OS) that may only connect to a pre-specified organization's resources. LPS-Remote Access was deemed by the DoD as the easiest and least expensive telework solution for its geographically-dispersed workforce. Deployment entailed burning and distributing free CDs and inexpensive smartcard-readers to users, rather than having to issue and update government laptops or requiring users to install specialized software on their personal computing devices. LPS-Remote Access customization and Tier 2 support is available for all Federal agencies and many of their contractors. More than 30 organizations representing some 30,000 government employees have adopted LPS-Remote Access.

Millions of Americans currently use mobile devices—e.g., cellphones, smartphones, and tablet computers—on a daily basis to communicate, obtain Internet-based information, and share their own information, photographs, and videos. Given the extent of consumer reliance on mobile interactions, it is increasingly important that these devices be secured from expanding threats to the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the information they maintain and share. Accordingly, GAO was asked to determine (1) what common security threats and vulnerabilities affect mobile devices, (2) what security features and practices have been identified to mitigate the risks associated with these vulnerabilities, and (3) the extent to which government and private entities have been addressing the security vulnerabilities of mobile devices. To do so, GAO analyzed publically available mobile security reports, surveys related to consumer cybersecurity practices, as well as statutes, regulations, and agency policies; GAO also interviewed representatives from federal agencies and private companies with responsibilities in telecommunications and cybersecurity.
