CIA to boost cyber capability
The CIA is planning a radical overhaul, ramping up its capability to deal with cyber threats while boosting integration between departments. Central Intelligence Agency director John Brennan outlined the proposed changes to the agency in a message to staff on Friday described as a 'Blueprint for the Future' covering four key areas. Brennan said the US espionage agency would set up a new 'Directorate of Digital Innovation' to reflect the rapidly evolving cyber landscape. 'We must place our activities and operations in the digital domain at the very centre of all our mission endeavours,' Brennan wrote. 'To that end, we will establish a senior position to oversee the acceleration of digital and cyber integration across all of our mission areas.' The changes reflect the increasing emphasis on cybersecurity by the United States after a series of high-profile digital breaches in recent years, such as the Sony Pictures hack blamed on North Korea.
