CIA Details Agency's New Digital and Cyber Espionage Focus
coondoggie writes: It's about 10 years late to the party, but come October 1, the Central Intelligence Agency will add a new directorate that will focus on all things cyber and digital espionage. The CIA's Deputy Director, David Cohen, said to a Cornell University audience last week that once the new Directorate of Digital Innovation (DDI) is up and running, "it will be at the center of the Agency's effort to inject digital solutions into every aspect of our work. It will be responsible for accelerating the integration of our digital and cyber capabilities across all our mission areas—human intelligence collection, all-source analysis, open source intelligence, and covert action."
they secure the existing digtal assets of country from the not-so-scary-ists and educate the federa/state employees about social engineering. If they cant pass a basic cyber security evaluation, put them to work cleaning restrooms and kitchens where they wont endanger the rest of us.
There is no right to feel safe thru security vaudeville at the expense of everyone's freedom, privacy and tax money.
