Die Trump-administrasie dring daarop aan om groot aanpassings te maak aan die Pentagon-organisasies wat belas is met kuberveiligheid en seininligting, volgens 'n Amerikaanse verdedigingsbeampte.
Die voorstel, first reported by Defense One, would split the command of US Cyber Command and the National Security Agency, two organizations currently being led by the same four-star military officer.
The official said that the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley and acting Defense Secretary Christopher Miller are required by law to certify that certain requirements have been met before the split can happen.
A US official confirmed that Milley received the proposal from the Defense Department very late this week.
A spokesperson for Milley said the general “has not reviewed nor endorsed any proposal to split CYBERCOM and NSA.”
The defense official told CNN that the feeling within both organizations is that the current effort is being “gehaas” and that doing this “rapidly or without a great deal of forethought would be unwise.”
The splitting of the NSA and Cyber Command has been long-discussed but this marks a late rush to do so by the outgoing administration.
Dit is 'n treffende verhaal en sal opgedateer word.
