One of the items on the SANS list, the Department of Defense’s Common Access Card (CAC), has lead to a 46% reduction of successful intrusions of defense systems.

The success of the CAC program has led to a broader effort to implement similar two-factor authentication systems government-wide under Homeland Security Presidential Directive-12 (HSPD-12), the SANS report said.

Something to keep an eye of for 2008, along with changing credit card rules.
