Updated Workstations Coming Soon |

Individuals will soon be able to use updated workstations for the hands-on portion of the CSEIP certification program. The new workstations incorporate PACS (Physical Access Control Systems) that have been tested by the GSA evaluation program and included on the APL (Approved Product List).
