The Pentagon has announced plans to tighten controls on classified information. This decision follows the arrest of an airman in April for allegedly leaking classified documents on Discord.
A 45-day review identified ambiguities and inconsistencies in existing policies. The review led to the introduction of new measures. One of the new measures is the appointment of “Top Secret Control Officers” to monitor users of classified information.
Another measure is the establishment of a new office for insider threats. Additionally, plans are in place for electronic device detection systems in classified work areas.
The Pentagon aims to strengthen the protection of classified information and prevent unauthorized disclosures. The leak of classified documents is a serious security breach.
Tightening controls is a step in the right direction. These changes will enhance the security of classified information and reduce the likelihood of unauthorized disclosures. The Pentagon is implementing these changes gradually over the next few months.
The Pentagon is implementing various changes, and here are some additional details:
- The introduction of Top Secret Control Officers who will monitor users of classified information and ensure appropriate usage. They will also conduct investigations into potential security breaches.
- A dedicated Office for Insider Threats to identify and mitigate threats posed by individuals with access to classified information.
- Implementation of Electronic Device Detection Systems to identify unauthorized electronic devices in classified areas, preventing unauthorized removal of classified information.
