White House urges changes to clearance rules

White House urges changes to clearance rules

http://fcw.com/articles/2014/03/18/w...eport.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,

Applying these measures would block the vast majority of politicians from accessing classified data - including the potus. Hmmm - on second thought - bring it on! I can't see a down side.

A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.
