It’s an important step forward in reforming the outmoded and cumbersome security clearance process. But it’s not a panacea say Chertoff Group Principal Charles Allen, Chuck Alsup, President of the Intelligence and National Security Alliance (INSA), and Adam Lurie, a member of INSA’s advisory board. They argue that we must redefine what a clear and trusted worker is through a process of continuous evaluation and vetting. And we need to use technology to conduct security clearances in a way that’s much more effective and efficient than it’s done today.
