MTIPS meaning in Computing ?

Managed Trusted Internet Protocol Service (MTIPS) was developed by the US General Services Administration (GSA) to allow US Federal agencies to physically and logically connect to the public Internet and other external connections in compliance with the Office of Management and Budget's (OMB) Trusted Internet Connection (TIC) Initiative.

MTIPS will reduce the number of connections, as originally dictated in the TIC mandate, but will not reduce the connection points to the degree originally quoted. Instead, focus has shifted on the securing of existing connections using the MTIPS architecture.
