Defense Science Board recommends vigilance against insider threats
The Defense Science Board recommends that the Defense Department continuously monitor cleared personnel to avoid "strategic surprise." The advisory council offered that and other counterintelligence advice in a report published over the summer and obtained last week by the Federation of American Scientists.
The "DSB Summer Study Report on Strategic Surprise" (pdf) was issued to Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology and Logistics Frank Kendall. Strategic surprise, according to the report, is an event for which the country is not adequately prepared and which could be extremely costly.
By taking action today, says the board, the DoD can avoid "regrettable" consequences in the future. Information technology is a significant part of preparation and effective counterintelligence, says the report.
