United Defense
December 2007 – “Secure e-mail was one of the first mechanisms our members identified to share information. Culturally, we have for a very long time been asked to avoid using e-mail to share sensitive information externally. Document sharing with identity federation is about having a data ontology and a set of consolidated policies that allow for the flow of sensitive data from one network to the next with the minimum amount of local configuration and the maximum amount of security. Not having to create accounts and issue credentials to your partners is one of the rare examples of something that saves money and improves security at the same time.”
