What is a possible method to protect your Common Access Card (CAC)?

Using your Common Access Card (CAC) occasionally for identification is a method that emphasizes prudent handling of sensitive information. The nature of the CAC is that it contains access privileges and personal identification data intended to secure access to military facilities and information systems. By using it sparingly, you reduce the risk of it being lost, stolen, or misused.

This approach encourages maintaining a level of vigilance regarding the security of the CAC. Since it is a critical piece of identification that provides access to sensitive systems and information, treating it as an important but not everyday necessary item minimizes exposure to potential threats.

Implementing this practice also aligns with general security best practices, which advocate for the restriction of access tokens to critical missions and situations, thus avoiding routine use which might lead to complacency and increased vulnerability to unauthorized access.
