This initiative was put forth to help improve the security of sensitive systems after the Snowden disclosures in 2013.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The NSA, according to the inspector general&#8217;s report, had some successes, but the overall initiative &#8220;did not fully meet the intent of decreasing the risk of insider threats to NSA operations and the ability of insiders to exfiltrate data.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the Times, the report details how their efforts fell short, including the failure to reduce the number of privileged users who can access sensitive computer systems; their failure to consistently keep data center machine rooms secure, as well as failing to lock the server racks containing highly classified data; and the failure to fully implement software that would monitor users.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The report also noted the agency&#8217;s failure to declare an exact number of people with abilities to transfer data. The lists containing this information were kept on spreadsheets that were corrupted and are no longer available.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The inspector general&#8217;s report noted that NSA CIO Gregory Smithberger told the inspector general that the elimination of all insider risks and threats is not feasible. He told the Times, &#8220;While the media leak events that led to Secure the Net (STN) were both unforeseen and serious, we consider the extensive progress we made in a short time to be a &#8216;good news&#8217; story.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The importance of securing classified information, as the report warns, was underscored the same month the inspector general&#8217;s report was produced, according to the Times. In August 2016, a group called the Shadow Brokers obtained and auctioned off classified hacking tools allegedly from the NSA \u2014 some of which were dumped online allowing for the WannaCry attack.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;We welcome the observations and opportunities for improvement offered by the U.S. Defense Department&#8217;s Inspector General,&#8221; Vanee Vines, spokesperson for the N.S.A. told the Times. &#8220;N.S.A. has never stopped seeking and implementing ways to strengthen both security policies and internal controls.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A declassified report containing information about the NSA&#8217;s security efforts has been
