Jeremy Grant

Senior Executive Advisor for Identity Management at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Mr. Grant has been selected to manage the establishment of a National Program Office for the National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace (NSTIC). Mr. Grant comes to NIST with a diverse background and deep understanding of identity and cybersecurity issues, having served in a range of leadership positions spanning government and industry. He began his career as a legislative aide in the U.S. Senate, where he drafted the legislation which laid the groundwork for the Department of Defense and GSA smart card and PKI efforts. Mr. Grant then joined the Intelligent Technologies Division at MAXIMUS, a government services firm, where he led the division’s Security and Identity Management practice, and played a major role in a number of major federal identity and security programs. He then spent three years with Washington Research Group as the firm’s identity and cybersecurity market analyst. Most recently, Jeremy served as Chief Development Officer for ASI Government (formerly Acquisition Solutions, Inc.), a consulting firm focused on helping government agencies improve results through the application of better acquisition, organizational and program management practices. Jeremy is a former co-chair of the Identity Management Committee at TechAmerica (previously the Information Technology Association of America). He graduated with distinction from the University of Michigan with dual concentrations in biology and political science. NSTIC is to be a new initiative created as a result of the Obama Administration’s Cyberspace Policy Review, which called for building “a cybersecurity-based identity management vision and strategy that addresses privacy and civil-liberties interests, leveraging privacy-enhancing technologies for the nation” as of one of ten near-term action items. NSTIC will be focused on establishing identity solutions and privacy-enhancing technologies to improve the security and convenience of sensitive online transactions through the process of authenticating individuals, organizations, and underlying infrastructure.
