DHS has made it much cheaper for states to implement REAL ID in its final rules (Part 1 and Part 2). But the question remains: Is it enough to quell the rising state revolt against the cost of secure IDs?
New regulations implemented in Massachusetts require that companies encrypt documents sent over the Internet or saved on laptops or flash drives. Data transmitted wirelessly must also be protected and firewalls must be up to date. Companies were required to meet most of the regulations last month but the deadline for some items has been extended. For example, all data stored on laptops must be encrypted now but the requirement to encrypt data on other portable devices has been delayed until January 1, 2010.
