Huge congratulations to the entire @AxiadIDS team on achieving @FedRAMP ATO status at the Moderate Level for Axiad Conductor.
"Obtaining FedRAMP ATO is more than a checkbox—it enables agencies and contractors to modernize identity security with confidence," said Axiad CEO @davidcanellos . "With Axiad Conductor, organizations can deploy phishing-resistant multifactor authentication (MFA) across their workforce and infrastructure—fast. It's how we help federal IT teams reduce identity risk, eliminate help desk friction and stay audit-ready."
Axiad Conductor secures credentialing across human identities (HI) and non-human identities (NHI). The platform automates the full credential lifecycle—from setup and issuance to renewal and revocation—without requiring agencies to rip and replace existing tools. Axiad's integrated, policy-aligned approach enables agencies to:
-Prove trust across the identity lifecycle
-Simplify operations with single-pane-of-glass control
-Cut costs and reduce support tickets tied to credential chaos
The result: faster deployments, stronger compliance and less operational drag across IT and security teams. #infosec #identitysecurity

It only takes five minutes to break the cycle.
Five minutes of exercise and you are back on the path. Five minutes of writing and the manuscript is moving forward again. Five minutes of conversation and the relationship is restored.
It doesn't take much to feel good again.

We’re just sayin’. To abolish mask -wearing laws in some States while the rest of the Nation keeps theirs is like designating a peeing section of the swimming pool.

Today the world changed forever.
Why? Because a group of Artificial Intelligence researchers released something called "GPT-3".
In short: it's a computer program that can interact like a ridiculously intelligent human.
And it will blow your mind 👇

That applies to the coronavirus. Still, there’s no getting around having to figure out what this situation is likely to mean and how we should deal with it, so here are my thoughts for you to take or leave: bit.ly/rd_corona
