| The National Security Agency may break with cyber driving |
US Defense Department officials recently introduced a proposal separating the US National Security Agency and US Cyber Command.
General Paul Nakasone heads the National Security and Cyber Command and enables agencies from both countries to share resources and coordinate priorities, such as protecting US elections from outside interference.
According to the Wall Street Journal, Pentagon officials recently circulated a proposal to end this agreement.
Since the creation of e-leadership 10 years ago, lawmakers, the military, and intelligence agencies have been thinking about separating e-command from the NSA.
Nakasone once said that by working together, the NSA and Cyber Command can effectively share indicators of digital leakage and work with other agencies, including the FBI, on national security issues. .
Critics of the current organization say it could enter the bureaucracy and obstruct or prevent any action or decision where espionage and military primacy conflict.
The NSA may want to maintain access to the target for monitoring, but sometimes the network command's job is to disable the target.
In recent years, the potential for the split has multiplied many times over, but interest in separating the NSA from the market leader has once again coincided with widespread cyber attacks on the software supply chain.
Russian hackers distribute malicious software to thousands of victims' organizations, including US government agencies.
The United States government wants to respond to a cyber attack so widespread that the White House National Security Council has activated an emergency team to repair damage in the past few days.
The idea of secession caught the attention of the United States government, also because the Department of Defense must meet Congressional criteria before the separation proceedings begin.
Establish criteria to ensure that separation does not affect the military effectiveness of network leaders.
Adam Smith, chair of the House Armed Services Committee, said: I am deeply concerned about reports that the administration in question is trying to separate the NSA from the IT division without consulting Congress or failing to comply with legal requirements.
Smith wrote to Acting Defense Secretary Christopher Miller and Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley requesting that the NSA not be separated from the IT division.
Miller and Millie must provide evidence that the move qualifies Congress before expelling them.
