Please don’t trivialise prison rape. It’s rape, not a joke.
No one is responsible for securing IT infrastructure outside the organisations themselves. The CIA is in charge of itself, the FBI ditto, likewise county sheriffs and city police. The NSA is supposed to do this kind of work but mostly it doesn’t because it wants to hack other countries.
Comical incompetence in the government in terms of security is more the rule than the exception for the same reasons as in the private sector. Remember, everyone who ever got a USG background check got exposed.

> In June 2015, the United States Office of Personnel Management (OPM) announced that it had been the target of a data breach targeting the records of as many as four million people.[1] The final estimate of the number of stolen records is approximately 21.5 million. This includes records of people who had undergone background checks, but who were not necessarily current or former government employees.[2] It has been described by federal officials as among the largest breaches of government data in the history of the United States.[1] Information targeted in the breach included personally identifiable information such as Social Security numbers,[3] as well as names, dates and places of birth, and addresses.[4]

Until we can conquer that (highly doubtful), shitty people are going to keep being shitty people. Fact. >Remember, everyone who ever got a USG background check got exposed. In that instance, the reaction from the USG was, "Eh, credit monitoring should just about cover it," negating the fact that credit monitoring does fuck-all in the espionage space but what do I know...?
- enkid 8y agoThe NSA is responsible for setting standards for DoD networks. They don't even secure DoD networks, that's still the network owner. DHS has a similar role for government networks outside the DoD, but that's a complete mess, considering the number of organizations involved.
