Topic:
This AFCEA Technical seminar will
focus on the emerging new threats to our Government’s IT
infrastructure. As new types of attacks and even the motivations
behind those attacks evolve, it is increasingly difficult to
recognize threats, stop attacks, isolate damage and even potentially
forensically track back the attackers. The speakers will discuss
topics ranging from: IA regulatory compliancy, protecting the
infrastructure and its assets, emerging Defense-in-depth protection
strategies, technologies role, and best practices. |

GCN: Intel agencies going to ‘war’ over IT security
One quote from the article I found interesting: “[Dale Meyerrose, DNI/CIO] said his office was given the challenge of leading the federal effort to prepare for the Avian Flu. His office helped set up three portals — for top-secret, secret and unclassified data. The secret and top-secret portals were set up in two weeks, but the unclassified portal took six months.”
This definitely great news, but why have 3 portals? (It is easy to imagine that there is probably redundant data on all 3 portals.) Why not just create one portal that has classified and unclassified data? People could gain access to it based on their security clearance. So that a person that doesn’t have clearance can access only the unclassified stuff and the person that has a top secret clearance can access everything.
Do you think this is doable? What would it take?

Intel agencies going to ‘war’ over IT security
Just saw this article on GCN and found some things particularly interesting… Dale Meyerrose, the DNI/CIO, stated: “We haven’t updated our security policy since 2001,” he said. “It took three years to write and four years to get approved. We will do this in 11 months.”
Can you imagine that? What if the business world worked that way? I bet commercial companies work create policies in less than a month. How does Google or Bank of America do it? Maybe the IC should be talking to them…
