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…
