[inaudible] zero questions for the nsa.olutely the target of very strong questioning and distressed. -- distressed. i will be the first to say, these are screw ups. this is a real quick -- real problem. we can't have the fbi in a position where there's a lack of trust of the fbi. that's why we looked to implement changes in the way the fbi does these searches of the data. a very simple one. this will sound obvious. the way the fbi was doing it two years ago and previously was that they would do the query of all their databases automatically by default, including raw section 702. if they want to test their open cases, it would automatically run that query against raw fisa. a simple flip of the switch to change that setting from, you have to opt in instead of automatically being searched, that has reduced the number of queries by 93%. it's early in the case. that would check all the databases and if they didn't meet the standard. we just change that one setting from having to opt in, right your reasons, record your reasons fo

the nsa is carrying out real cyber attacks. "we take on the most difficult tasks, the most secure networks, the secrets that our adversaries want to protect. it is the nsa that provides ukrainian military command of all necessary information. today, artificial intelligence already has the ability to destroy humans. a game without rules begins, nothing has been decided yet, but we are in the race, we are in the game. russia from the years today." the official date of birth of stalin iosifarionovich, and i am not showing any photograph, because this is not the birthday of a person as such, since well, joseph dzhugashvili is a different story, today is the birthday of stalin, as the most important figure on december 18, but the date is today, why does it seem important to me to say this, because we need to stop flinching on behalf of stalin, just as we don’t flinch at... one of these is our story today. paul mikina kasone, head of the us national security agency, the world's largest intelligence agency, which collects a huge amoun

nsa, cyber command, talk about them both, either.eneral nakasone: thanks to the sponsors being able to hold this, and to insa, which i have been watching and been part of for a number of years. i am just really pleased with what insa has been able to do with the community. thinking about near-term priorities, i began this morning with our focus. our focus begins on a number of different regions, israel and nge of china. where we need to be today, tomorrow, and in the future regarding the challenges for what is an exciting time. >> that was our warm-up. a tool that is very necessary for you to keep up with all of those challenges, whether it is china, it is certainly section 702 and the reauthorization. there have been a flurry of op beds over the last couple of weeks. we have a new bill that has been introduced by senator warren and rubio. your current authorization expires at the end of this month. you want to talk about 702 reauthorization and what is next? >> 702 is the most important authority we utilize day in and day out. it is

raytheon supports nsa and u.s. cyber committee in areas. data sources that provide foundations for new features, applications, analytics, and open source data to be proactive and predict our adversaries attacks. as you move forward, building resilience in all aspects of technology, ai, policy infrastructure, i can speak for all of us in saying we are here to partner with you in your mission to protect the nation. it is a true honor and privilege to introduce our speakers today. our moderator, whose accomplishments are immense. she served as director of the nga, deputy director of eia, under the secretary of defense for intelligence, and deputy director of naval intelligence. add to that resume her eighth year as chairwoman. congratulations. >> thank you for your leadership, having worked with us for years, i have such respect for her and her leadership. it is moving the nation forward. our guest of honor, general paul knuckle sony, assumed his duties as command of u.s. cyber command and director of the national security agency and chief of

not designed with this kind of cyber threat information sharing in mind, so organizations like the nsa, he also mentioned cyber security infrastructure, and these organizations are working hard now to create more optimized information sharing mechanisms with industry, and especially it is an issue also when you are dealing with regional critical infrastructure around america, where realistically, these small infrastructure management agencies or utility companies, things like that, they will never be as invested in their own cybersecurity at their local level as a nationstate that sees them as critical for some national security objective penetrating them, and nation will also have more resources and more focus to bring to bear then some local utility company, so that is where it is really important to bring the resources of the federal government to their, and back in the early 2000's, going back to the bush administration, he saw an emphasis on well, that is the private sector's fault, and we are going to talk a big game about the private sector in their infinite dynamism will be tak

nsa wanted to impress the japanese and show them our reach. they loved the live drone feeds. this is over pakistan right now. they were not as thrilled to learn that we wanted them to help us spy on the japanese population. they said it was against their laws. of course we tapped the entire country anyway, and we didn't stop there, once we owned their communication system, we started going after their physical infrastructure. we'd slipped these little sleeper programs into power grids, dams, hospitals and the idea was if the day. came when japan was no longer ally, it'd be lights out, and it wasn't just the japanese, we were planning malware in mexico, germany, brazil, austria, i mean china, i can understand or russia, or iran, venezuela, okay, but austria, you're also being ordered to follow most world leaders and heads of industry, you're tracking. great deals, sex scandals, diplomatic cables to give the us an advantage in negotiations at the g8 or leverage over brazilian oil companies or helping to oust some third world leader who's not playing ball. ultimately the truth s

and christina walter who is heading up the nsa's future ready work force.now what would you say is the greatest cyber threat that the country faces. which country is facing the greatest threat. >> china is our biggest challenge we look and see a country that has obviously different authorities and means but what we want to make sure is that we remain vigilant against the challenge to us. >> reporter: christina, right now you are the head the director of the future ready work force at the nsa responsible for recruiting the next generation of cyber warriors. what are you looking for and what is the change that you're seeing in terms of the work force? >> we're facing the same challenge that industry is facing. there is a big competition for talent. we're focused a lot on student programs, catch them when they're in college and have them do summer intern programs bringing in a new generation who wants to work and be part of something bigger than themselves so a sense of purpose from the second they get it. >> reporter: why is it needed so badly right now. >> w

nsa conducts real cyber attacks.s the ukrainian military command with all the necessary information. today, artificial intelligence already has the ability to destroy humans. our technology begins. floor nakasona. system administrator of the devil, doll of the heir tutti, today on the first. gene sheaf, a product of the steller group. there was such an illegal immigrant, alexander mikhailovich korodku, in countries. to start korodkov was offered a very modest position, the so-called elevator one. and this simple position became an elevator for him into intelligence, korotkov, of course, made a breakthrough in the nemet direction, the flow of information from them increased sharply, she was a common-law wife at that time, we come to intelligence not for the sake of love and friendship, but for the sake of ensuring the state security. korodkov suggested that the task was to prevent keitel from leaving prematurely, for the rest of his life. alexander mikhailovich korotkov passed as required by the motto of illegal intel

we stood up the cybersecurity collaboration center nsa in 2020. that's three years ago. one of the things we said is we want to be able to work with that fits the database. but we found up initially the way we have to work is we have to work in their medium. their medium is not in a classified medium. being able to meet with them and talk with them on on a serief different channels, the english information and unclassified meant is what we doing. the other part is why do we provide a series of products that ensure a higher degree of cybersecurity so being able to provide scanning to the defense industrial base to see what vulnerabilities and they have or some of the ways were looking at this equation a bit differently. >> host: what did you hear? >> guest: so that's actually a critical piece of this is when you're working with the defense industrial base, if you are the u.s. government, cyber threat information oftentimes that may be, that sort of information may be sensitive or restricted and there's been a push over the last several years to take those categories of in

the fbi did not know what the cia knew or what the nsa was collecting. after 9/11 they switched to what was called need to know, which is how you determined who got access to classified information. did you need to know it? what they call need to share. let's make this intelligence and make it broadly available to people who might need it in ways we cannot anticipate. the senior policymakers in government. someone who has a top-secret security clearance like he did gets access to networks where all of that information is maintained. that is how he gets in and can see it. he is not supposed to be looking at it. he cannot help but encounter it because he is working on the computer systems and maintaining them and keeping them running. that is how someone at his very low level is able to get access to information that people at much higher levels can get that need to see it. host: want to ask you about the process for him getting that top-secret clearance. he had some things happen in his past that reasonable people might call it flags. i'm going to play a

or maybe the nsa. they'll have their system too. right. because they've got billions sloshing around over there as well. but yes, i think it be fantastic if the nsf, they could be empowered and funded, you know, to the equivalent, because i think we, you know, to understand like what these systems are capable of. and i think a society we should know what that is, at least as soon as that our corporate lords, lords and masters know, you know, and some of these private entities. i see it as a huge that. that we have a handful of of multitrillion dollar or trillion dollar it corporations that the leaders in this and and are largely determining where where it's going in terms of of government the power seems to rest largely with the military and dod and their contractors like volunteer so i definitely agree with matt that there has to be better mechanisms that have a fuller fuller representation and and to to the technology and its development and use. i so another question from the audience involves the something that several of you mentioned

i asked the former nsa director if an all-out ban could be accomplished here.to be a little more nuanced here. for example, we might say, well, we're not going to allow this technology to be used by a government individual. it's not going to be -- this technology to be used in sensitive or classified areas. on the other hand, there's part of where i would say, look, we ould feel comfort as a society using it for some things. >> something. >> now even at a national level an all-out ban of the app is going to be difficult. the biden administration is trying to knack legislation to restrict or baforeign-owned apps but those efforts have stalled and the contrast couldn't be more stark in china where freedom of speech just doesn't exist. the communist government can design to ban american apps, which it certainly has, there's facebook, instagram, linkedin or x, you can't access unless you use a vpn, which many do. several other chinese apps continue to make inroads here. we've talked about temu and shein. they've captured a significant chunk of the american consumer

last year she identified an israeli mole in the nsa, and this agent served for more than ten years andn. the most vulnerable place is where we learned that mustafa is the son of a sheikh. we sent it through lempord. information that mustafa allegedly said this himself under torture. the sheikh is no more, mustafa has disappeared. it is unlikely that the cia now needs a scandal with a mole. i think director hasselchow should seize on this. that is, everything is fine with us. or maybe we don’t know something. they want to get it in the sky. recording of mustafa's interrogation, but the recording does not contain mustafa's confession that he is the son of a sheikh, not yet, ekaterina alekseevna, a package for you, what a package, a young man with a lot of bad habits, but extremely charming and handsome, are you? hello, hello, how are you, fine, for some reason in moscow, they were sent home as an employee who had not justified their high rank. kgb. did you get fired? well, who's going to fire me? i’m sitting at home while my bosses change their anger to mercy and go back to battle. it's

no rules in place, no laws, no rules that really governed the cia or the fbi for that matter, or the nsaere was no public debate or public discussion of what the intelligence community should do. and so everything that the church committee did was brand new. and that is, if you step back and you think you create a committee and then you tell them, you have to investigate 30 years of history of an agency. it's pretty awesome and i think they did a really pretty amazing job in one year. >> i agree the detail, the book really details all the work that they put into it. it's pretty amazing um, in your book. as you just mentioned, the cia was around three decades old when they, the committee was formed. how do you think it was able to amass so much power and operate without oversight for so long? >> well, that's a great question. it was something that, maybe senator hart could talk about also. but i think there was a sense in the post war world post war era, that americans didn't want to ask too many questions, especially after world war two. and then the mccarthy era hit in the early fifties

accountability, democratic making, and just drawing from experience here a bit, we did a review of an nsa program, a large collection program. this is a public resulted in a public declassified and we had to wrestle with the government about specific facts that were in the report with dni, god bless. and one of the facts was the cost of the program, a program that was concluded and that did not involve a ton of specialized high tech gear, where this would be particularly insight for adversaries. and they redacted the cost of the program which was, i think, $100 million. but we got it declassified eventually. and so we had to wrestle with them and we said this is very important for the public to eventually they yielded on that. that's one fact. and we invested a lot of human time in getting that fact out there. but of course, it was very valuable for public. you compare that to a mound of potentially a million emails that are being bounced around between 12 that an agency is perhaps a hack to get around this problem triaging information in terms of its importance and value instead of tryin

the nsa gave us a list of 1200 americans who were on the watch list that they were surveilling. all the international communications. there were two names, about 10 years ago we discovered this, two names that were not on that list, howard baker, senator on the committee, and frank church. had they told us that then, what do you think, senator? i mean, they would have blown things sky high, but you know, we got what we got, and it was -- you know, perseverance, i guess. >> loch wrote a very fine book about the committee. you see some of those cartoons in this book that rick brought, like the frank sinatra one is my favorite. you really described what the jerks and auditorium would like, very cramped cubicles, on top of each other, and you can hear everyone's conversations, it was like a bedroom. so impressive what you did. >> [ indescernible ] if i may just take a couple minutes, i want to tell gary hart's story, but i want to preface it by saying one of the saddest moments in the committee for me was to realize the assassination plots really occurred [ indescernible ] the fbi t
