12 yrs after EO13556 created #CUI program to simplify mgt of sensitive unclassified info, the USG has only a draft plan for a more complex system that burdens agencies and #contractors. To learn why #CUI should be reimagined, read @INSAlliance's paper at lnkd.in/eJPFErsA.

In this podcast, Greg Torres of @BoozAllen and I talk about ways to make the security clearance process more efficient. We discuss 2 new papers from @INSAlliance on challenges of moving cleared people among agencies and clearing people with foreign ties. federalnewsnetwork.com/insid…

Why is it so hard for government contractors to get their security #clearances transferred from one agency to another? Listen to this @FederalNewsNet podcast, in which I share recommendations from the latest white paper from @INSAlliance. federalnewsnetwork.com/podca…

See the new @INSAlliance paper on clearing people w/foreign ties. While the #Intelligence Community needs people with language & cultural skills, the clearance process - focused on eliminating risk, not mitigating it - makes it too hard to hire them. insaonline.org/new-paper-add…

Warning from @RepGaramendi in @C4ISRNET of Russian threats to GPS satellites, loss of which would wreak havoc on the US economy and critical infrastructure. Perhaps the space sector should be designated as critical infrastructure, as @INSA proposed. c4isrnet.com/opinion/2022/04…

Negotiations case study: @MLB players ExecCmte (negotiators) voted 8-0 vs. deal b/c they focus on sacrifices & disrespect by owners. Player reps voted 26-4 in favor b/c they want to play. When deep in talks, you focus on process & personality,not outcome.

Amazing that rogue FSB elements tipped off the Ukrainians about a plot to assassinate President Zelensky. If true, there are evidently divisions in the #Russia government about the wisdom of the #Ukraine campaign. washingtonpost.com/world/202…
Do selfies count as geospatial imagery? Love this photo of @NGA_GEOINT Director VADM Bob Sharp taking a selfie with NGA's Mary Ann Kissinger, who was being honored with an @INSAlliance Achievement Award this week. #INSAachievement #ShowTheWay

Glad to see my colleagues at @RANDCorporation examining global powers' engagement in #Africa. Just like #China, #Russia is seeking to secure natural resources and make money, but more importantly to gain influence and position itself as a great power. rand.org/pubs/research_repor…
