Under a new Executive Order, the security clearance process will now be conducted through the Department of Defense. 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.
