With an ever changing threat of nation states targeting the United States and its infrastructure and insiders stealing information for public release, we must continuously evaluate the procedural and technical controls we place on our national assets. This presentation goes into brief detail on how security controls are developed, reviewed, and enforced at a national level for protection of data classified up to Top Secret and some of the major flaws in the security approach to data privacy.
The purpose of this presentation is to raise awareness of substandard security practices within sensitive areas of the Federal Government and to influence change in how controls and practices are developed and maintained.
