Could Your Data Firm Be the Next NSA Contractor?
Posted in: UncategorizedData could be the next collaborative corporate-government frontier.
During his January 17 speech explaining the National Security Agency’s surveillance program, which is reliant on obtaining massive amounts of phone call data, President Barack Obama ordered the establishment of a “mechanism” that “preserves the capabilities we need without the government holding this bulk meta-data.”
Any decisions on how such a data-management operation would proceed are preliminary. One concept floated by a federal review board that evaluated the NSA program would be for a third party to store data on behalf of the NSA. Before discussing the concept, the President prefaced it with an understatement: “This will not be simple.”
