Helping Foster Youth Protect Against Identity Theft

Identity theft is a nightmare for anyone who falls prey to it, and while everyone is vulnerable, America’s foster youth are particularly at-risk. There is conflicting data about exactly how many foster youth are impacted by this problem, but estimates run as high as up to 50 percent of foster youth have been affected by identity theft such that by the age of 18, many of them are starting their adult lives with their credit already destroyed. This is an enormous problem when you consider that almost half a million children were in foster care as of 2015, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

DNA Testing Is Popular, But Many Are Unaware of Privacy Concerns

Genetic testing is a booming business. The global DNA testing market is set to reach over $10 billion by 2022, according to a study by Grand View Research. More than 12 million Americans have already sent their DNA to be analyzed by companies like 23andMe and AncestryDNA. And that number is rising: AncestryDNA sold about 1.5 million testing kits between Black Friday and Cyber Monday last year. With the top testing companies advertising holiday specials on their websites, there’s no doubt these kits will be found in many a stocking again this season. But as DNA testing continues to grow in popularity, a key concern is often ignored: privacy.

Federal Agencies and DevSecOps: Booz Allen’s Guidance for Moving Forward

By bringing together traditionally separated teams and automating tasks like code deployment, DevOps makes it quicker and easier for organizations to update applications and software. DevSecOps brings security tools and processes into the mix, increasing the speed and efficiency by which organizations discover and correct system flaws.

DevSecOps is essential for federal agencies that handle classified data and comply with stringent security and data privacy requirements. Yet many agencies hold certain misperceptions about it: it’s purely about technology or speed, it’s a replacement for Agile, and it requires a massive investment in “super developers” or relinquishment of control—all of which stand in the way of DevSecOps adoption and realization of its full value.
