CNN Article about Super Secret CIA Program

[Nikuk]

Seriously?

CIA, FBI push 'Facebook for spies' - CNN.com

@CNN

But that’s not the case at the CIA, the FBI and the National Security Agency, where bosses are encouraging their staff members to use a new social-networking site designed for the super-secret world of spying.

The program is called A-Space, and it’s a social-networking site for analysts within the 16 U.S. intelligence agencies.

i HATE HOW CNN puts up stuff that’s supposed to be ‘top secret’

ie: “military now using this NEW LASER…”

Copy/paste would have improved the :snky: greatly.

They’re being super serial about it.

It makes no sense at all for them to be networking. I would think they would want nothing but isolated agents.

Hell they move you out of your area so you don’t have any contacts where you are going.

[Nikuk]

to further my point, from he Wiki:

“Information Week says it must have 16 different security waivers and move across 16 differently-configured firewalls.”

:picard:

[BluBalls]

lol… these agencies have a semantic web(RDF) layout to relate their information. They wouldn’t use a public media to share information.

Cost is a significant consideration. Wertheimer emphasized working with small prototypes at first, which are likely to demonstrate failures. If the prototype is small enough that a new version, which addresses the failure, is not expensive, incremental improvement would be the way to control costs. He mentioned that the initial costs, “well under $5 million”, will be for servers, software licenses and design. The greatest design challenge will be achieving the needed security. DNI policy is to have A-Space rely, as much as possible, on commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) software

well its under 5mill
