"Part of that debate hinges on the question of how much control should be given to American spy agencies, since they are prohibited from acting on American soil."
Clear, they have no strategy, it's another attack on the budget. They want to use intelligence to detect people inside and outside US who plan and run attacks.
They are not defending the network but offending citizens. They are not going to secure their servers but analyzing your digital presence.
This week was an article on HN Turkish hackers entered US Army sites with a simple SQL injection. Might your simple startup be more secure than US Army servers?
- tptacek 17y agoObama's address on the subject today allocated an entire graf to saying that monitoring private networks was not part of their strategy. He said it in a way that didn't leave a lot of room for interpretation. I think the privacy concerns about this effort are scaremongering.
- csbartus 17y ago> I think the privacy concerns about this effort are scaremongering. I think implying usual intelligence in defending networks is scaremongering. With all my respect to Obama he is still a politician who must defend political decisions. US might have a better political class but here in Eastern Europe we know to not take politicians seriously. However i would be interested in some concrete solutions / strategy NSA would offer to secure a network.
