Additional information

After you have your badge, report to work. Contact your manager if you have any questions.

Complete the Initial Computer Security Briefing (course #9369). This course is required to obtain a CRYPTOCard, which enables you to use LANL computing resources.

Your group administrator will request your CRYPTOCard and can check the status of your CRYPTOCard.

When a CRYPTOCard is requested, there is an option to have the CRYPTOCard sent through interoffice mail or to have the CRYPTOCard picked up at the Integrated Computing Network (ICN) Accounts Office by a cleared co-worker.  The ICN Accounts Office contacts the requester once the CRYPTOCard is ready.
