Not Just Military Computers @ Risk
by marileev July 7, 2006 2:58 PM PDT
The exercises showed that US departments are capable of sniffing out Risk Threats, but it's not just military agencies that need to run exercises like this. Smaller applications like email even pose a threat to an organization's data http://www.essentialsecurity.com/Documents/article9.htm

If the government can secure its servers, how about deploying solutions for the average government worker who may need to VPN from home to use his or her laptop? RLS tools are measures that smaller non military departments can incorporate as part of their security policies

It's a kinder gentler invasive domestic spying agency. Maybe these guys don't deserve the scrutiny they're getting... Oh wait, they're involved in systematic warrentless spying on otherwise innocent domestic citizens. Yeah, that's utterly immoral. Hmmm, maybe this PR fluff piece is just a smoke screen. So network securtiy is important?!? Wow, when did these stunted morons wake up... Good thing we have these kindly and trustworthy folks to point out the simplest of obviousnesses.

Over-rated

The NSA's Red Team is severly over-rated. These nub-cakes have mastered only "the art of textbook reading". I know, I've 'been there done that'. Network security goes deeper than the response-control approach that they use. This nation will not get any more secure until red teams such as this start to focus more on the enemy they're up against, and start to recruit quality personnel. "I'll probably see him on the news" - well here I am. rofl @ owned!
