The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs is expanding its work with Lockheed Martin to improve data security for its Million Veteran Program, according to a GCN report.
The Million Veteran Program is an effort to build a database of health information from 1 million veterans, according to the report.
Lockheed Martin will help secure genomic data storage and access under the new Cooperative Research & Development Agreement. The company has been working with the VA on security for the Million Veteran Program since 2011.
Lockheed Martin's security solutions for the program include role-based security, encryption, multifactor authentication and more, according to the report.
