ARMA International Standards Development Program Update
On January 31, 2008, the Identity Theft Prevention and Identity Management
Standards Panel (IDSP) released a two-volume report providing a detailed inventory
of standards and best practices that can be used to prevent identity theft. The report
also contains a number of recommendations for security enhancements around the
issuance of identity credentials and for the exchange and maintenance of identity
data. The panel's report is available for free download at

heroes of the organization. It's time to promote the value of RIM!
