NSA secret cyber security testing no longer secret

By Barbara Vergetis Lundin | Fierce SmartGrid | December 26, 2012 |

Abstract:

In January 2008, President Bush issued National Security Presidential Directive 54, which grants the National Security Administration (NSA) broad authority over the security of American computer networks. The Directive was never released to the public -- that is, until 2010 when the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) revealed part of the directive it called a "cyber shield for utilities." Further details have never been released, until now. The Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC), a public interest research center in Washington, D.C., obtained the NSA's highly classified directive files through a Freedom of Information Act request and, subsequently, released the files to CNET who reported on their content.
