White House urges changes to clearance rules
http://fcw.com/articles/2014/03/18/wh-security-clearance-report.aspx?m=2
The question I have had for quite some time is why aren't current security controls being implemented? As in the 'SANS Top 20 Critical Security Controls,' which was initiated by the NSA itself? Article does not say how much is given that will identify inside threat IMO the article should be focusing more on the obvious lapse of implementing security controls such as 'SANS Top 20', amongst others. That's a CBA (Cost Benefit Analysis) that cannot be ignored any more. Simple things much as the ATO messages that every Group FP guy emails out. Unit S6, specifically the IMO should be getting the same style of email on DDoS or DDL and Cyber Social Engineering SpearPhishing emails. Which the normal way of a lot of the security issues. Then you have the congressional watering holes that so many love dropping secrets.
The White House also recommends finding ways to use social media information, previously excluded from background checks, as a component of investigations.
Well this will open up some many doorways for investigators. I wonder how sites like PS.com other message, thread boards and blogs will be used in checks. I'm sorry to say that throughout my military career, our government fails many times with their implementation processes of new programs.(Obama Care, NSPS) I like what POTUS Reagan, The nine most terrifying words in the English language are, 'I'm from the government and I'm here to help.
