Un funzionario di cybersecurity degli Stati Uniti della parte superiore ha rinunciato, protestando in una lettera di rassegnazione ottenuta dallo scomparto metallico che gli sforzi di protezione del cyber degli Stati Uniti stanno dominandi dall'agenzia di sicurezza nazionale di eccellente-segreto (NSA).

Il reparto di sicurezza della patria (DHS) ha confermato la rassegnazione di Rod Beckstrom, direttore del centro nazionale di sicurezza di Cyber (NCSC), ma non ha dato un motivo affinchè la sua decisione step-down.

“Ringraziamo Rod per il suo servizio e ci rammarichiamo la sua partenza,„ il DHS detto in una dichiarazione emailed a AFP.

While declining to confirm the authenticity of the letter published by the online edition of Wired, the department stressed in its statement that it had a “strong relationship” with the NSA.

“The Department of Homeland Security has a strong relationship with the NSA, and continues to work in close collaboration with all of our federal partners on protecting federal civilian networks,” it said.

“We look forward to our continued, positive working relationship with all our partners on outreach to the private sector as we strive to further secure our nation’s cyber networks,” the department added.

Wired, in its “Danger Room” blog, published what it said was a copy of the resignation letter to DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano from Beckstrom, who was appointed to the post a year ago by former DHS secretary Michael Chertoff.

In the letter, Beckstrom complained that the NCSC had been effectively sidelined by the NSA and warned against putting the surveillance agency in charge of national cybersecurity.

“NSA effectively controls DHS cyber efforts,” Beckstrom said. “While acknowledging the critical importance of NSA to our intelligence efforts, I believe this is a bad strategy on multiple grounds,” he said.
