This episode sponsored by Thinkst.In this podcast Patrick Gray and Tom Uren talk about a new report examining how the US intelligence communities uses data it buys. It finds that data you can buy now rivals or exceeds what intelligence agencies can collect, but the IC overall doesn’t treat the data with the sensitivity and care that it deserves. Fixing IC policy is one thing, but that won’t help at all with foreign adversaries or even local US law enforcement. US needs good data privacy law that cleans up the whole field.
They also look at new research that examines how lawyers’ incentives to protect clients mean that incident response is hamstrung when it comes to discovering root causes and learning lessons.
