I just got back from the FOSE 2009 Conference and Exhibition but the buzz of the show is still ringing for HP. Yesterday, Government Computer News announced this year’s GCN Best of FOSE Award recipients.
I am proud to tell you that, with more than a hundred entries and only 14 total winners, the HP Access Control Smartcard Solution for U.S. Government took home the ‘Best of FOSE’ Award for the Security Hardware Category.
Why did GCN see this solution as a big deal? Traditionally, one of the most difficult aspects of security for government agencies has been protecting content while it interacts within a printing and imaging environment. The HP Control Smartcard Solution for U.S. Government helps alleviate this problem and tighten security by allowing imaging and printing network authentication for government employees --- enabling them to connect, communicate and collaborate within a protected imaging and printing infrastructure.
As government agencies continue to adopt more rigorous standards, we feel this award winning solution is indicative of HP’s mission to continuously provide our government customers with innovative technologies to help manage agency document and information workflows more effectively and securely. As one of the most prestigious awards in the public sector space, we were thrilled to represent HP and be the recipient of a very competitive category within the contest.
Congratulations and thank you to Marc Sordi, Jennifer Carnine and the entire development team and to Alan Saxton for representing the solution at FOSE
