		<description><![CDATA[Senate Panel to Discuss Afghanistan Amid Leak of War Documents - Homeland Security CQ
The Senate Foreign Relations Committee will hold a hearing Tuesday to discuss options for bringing about political reconciliation in Afghanistan. The hearing is likely to be overshadowed, however, by a larger discussion on overall U.S. policy in Afghanistan and Pakistan following the release by WikiLeaks over the weekend of more than 92,000 pages of classified documents tracking the war in Afghanistan from January 2004 to December 2009. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Several news items of late have addressed the thorny issue of cyber attribution; that is, the ability to identify the sources of Web and network attacks. For cyber companies and some government agencies, attribution is the Holy Grail. However, if we develop technology that provides attribution, soon bad governments will get it too. They will surely use it against dissident elements inside their own countries to suppress free speech and abridge other civil rights of all sorts. Should we consciously forgo the possibility of deterring bad guys from cyber crime, cyber terror and cyber war because the technology could be used badly? I think the answer is clearly "no."]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For the second straight week, Washington, DC and the nation are reeling from headlines and news coverage of events on the national security stage. Last week, it was the Washington Post's series on Top Secret America, which details the explosive growth of the intelligence apparatus since 9/11. This week, it is the release of nearly 92,000 pages of classified details on the ongoing conflict in Afghanistan. What has been shared is a tremendous violation of trust amongst military/intelligence personnel that goes beyond the traditional Washington leak to a reporter. as interested as we may all be in what is really happening in the intelligence community and in Afghanistan, there is also a responsibility to not reveal everything. That is a line I think individuals and organizations like the WikiLeaks source, the Washington Post and others seem to cherish crossing.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Recently, there’s been a trend toward some agencies purchasing new data mining tools for their needs at fusion centers.  It is great to see this investment in technology, but watch out - many of these solutions don’t have any inherent method for capturing Suspicious Activity Reports and Request for Service data, which fusion centers use to track case management activities. Here's a review the four types of data that law enforcement officers encounter in their work and the federal guidelines that govern intelligence sharing.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As we continue to swelter in the ongoing summer heat wave, it is easy for me to reminisce about my recent visit to Aspen, Colo. Tucked amongst the Rockies with its clean air, fervent green and majestic views, a town known primarily for its skiing with the rich and famous was home to what was, simply put, the best conference program I have ever attended. The first annual Aspen Security Forum put forward a program that I can only describe as pleasant, informational waterboarding. By the time each of the presenters and panelists were done, my hand was dead from writing so much and my head hurt from being given the firehouse treatment of a candor and content  overload. Here's a rundown of some of the sessions.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Cyber Crime comes in lots of flavors. It is diverse, sophisticated and expanding everyday.  It includes Internet fraud, online banking fraud, a highly developed cyber underground, a growing number of targeted areas, and the "advanced persistent threat," a term that until recently was classified. It is almost impossible to accurately determine the "cost" of cyber crime, but if we do not get hold of this threat, we are in deep trouble.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[At day two of the AFCEA STRATCOM Cyber Security Symposium, I was a member of the Industry Panel. I took a breath and issued my challenge. Our moderator had asked each of the four panelists to make brief opening remarks on the state of industry in the cyber security issue space and to end with a "memorable" bumper sticker. It was my turn to make opening remarks. I went with my strong suit: directness, passion and leadership. I issued a challenge directly to Commanding General of StratCom with the bumper sticker "Make the Public-Private Partnership Real."]]></description>

In the film, the entire digital infrastructure of our country is brought to a stand still by a small group of very talented hackers. OK, professional analysts have told me it could not happen today. It could, however, happen in the not too distant future, particularly if present trends continue. The keys to that scenario are SCADA systems.]]></description>

They were asking tough questions and were more than a little skeptical.  ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have been critical in the past of the fact that DHS has not done enough about cybersecurity. I believe DHS is the correct part of the federal government to lead on cyber issues, but it always seemed that everything was on hold. It turns out I was wrong. I attended a superb cybersecurity event, and while I would love to give you a complete blow-by-blow recount of the excellent panel presentations and the Q&#038;A, it was all done on a non-attribution basis. Despite that, I do feel compelled to share some of what I heard.  ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I had the privilege this past weekend to do several non-Beltway speaking engagements in Michigan. I spoke about 9/11, the war in Iraq and Afganistan, my old boss (Secretary of Defense Donald H. Rumsfeld), terrorism and cybersecurity. These groups proved to be articulate, well educated and positively starving for information they expected to come from their government. But that did not surprise me as much as the fact that by far I received the most questions about cybersecurity.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Former NSA executive accused of leaking classified information - Government Executive
A federal grand jury has indicted a former National Security Agency senior executive on 10 felony counts related to sharing classified information with the media, the Justice Department announced on Thursday.

The indictment alleges that Thomas A. Drake, a high-ranking NSA employee from 2001 through 2008, served as a source in 2006 and 2007 for newspaper articles about the intelligence agency. The indictment claims that some of the information he disclosed was classified.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Cybersecurity remains a key issue in the nation’s security. Numerous stories in the news show that while big things are happening, we badly need them to move in a positive direction, and soon. We have passed this ball between the branches of our government for far too long. Decisions need to be made and action taken. As an optimist by nature, I believe that we are now more secure than we were a few years ago. Unfortunately, the threats are growing faster than we can react to them. All of the imagination and intellectual power of this great nation must be unleashed on this problem.  ]]></description>
