DoD computer networks have been totally compromised

Post by Pigeon » Fri Mar 23, 2012 4:29 am

Network security experts from across the U.S. government told a U.S. Senate Armed Services Subcommittee Tuesday that federal networks have been thoroughly penetrated by foreign spies, and that current perimeter-based defenses that attempt to curb intrusions are outdated and futile.

Speaking before the Senate Armed Services Subcommittee on Emerging Threats and Capabilities the experts told the assembled Senators that the U.S. government needed to abandon the notion that it could keep outsiders off its computer networks.

“We’ve got the wrong mental model here,” Dr. James S. Peery, director of the Information Systems Analysis Center at Sandia National Laboratories, testified. “I don’t think that we would think that we could keep spies out of our country. And I think we’ve got this model for cyber that says, ‘We’re going to develop a system where we’re not attacked.’ I think we have to go to a model where we assume that the adversary is in our networks. It’s on our machines, and we’ve got to operate anyway. We have to protect the data anyway."

Adversaries will just bypass the armada of ships and legends of ground troops.

" Wertheimer said that 44 percent of the NSA resigns from their position as opposed to retiring. Within the NSA's IT staff, that figure is 77 percent resigning as opposed to retiring. "

there's a clue.

And on the other side, corporate business, people constantly shuffle around through the constant lay offs of boom and bust.

There is a giant finger pointing to management

"you guys may know how to create these business tools, but management is the one who knows how to make the money."

"by 'money', did you mean 'run it into the ground'?"

All the more reason to hope for alien intervention.

If you mean by here, in this board, be advised they are in a special member group. Can't just let them loose.

They cannot be seen - just like every other UFO related proof.
