Reseña del libro "FBI Information Sharing and Safeguarding Report 2012 (en Inglés)"
The sharing and safeguarding of critical information fundamentally enable the unique national security and law enforcement missions of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). Continued and significant progress in sharing and safeguarding characterized the FBI in 2012. With significant enhancements to several of its technical and operational sharing and safeguarding capabilities in 2012, the FBI reaffirmed its commitment to responsibly sharing timely, relevant, and actionable intelligence with the widest appropriate audience while protecting the privacy and civil liberties of the American people.In 2012 the President signed the National Strategy for Information Sharing and Safeguarding (NSISS), setting the stage for implementation of significant new initiatives and the continued structural, technical, and cultural advancements across the U.S. Government to further enhance national security. The FBI provided significant input to the strategy, and participated throughout 2012 in the coordination of the strategy's implementation guidance soon to be published.The FBI continued to lead and participate in significant information sharing initiatives in 2012. This report, presented by the FBI Chief Information Sharing Officer (CISO), provides a summary of the many activities ongoing throughout the past year. The report is presented again this year in a format intended to mirror strategic issues and initiatives across the entire U.S. Government's diverse information sharing environment.The FBI made several organizational changes in 2012, in part to enhance the visibility and effectiveness of information sharing and safeguarding. These changes included a realignment of Knowledge Management and Information Sharing executives to give them greater ability to shape and guide enterprise-wide information access and sharing policy; and reorganization of the FBI's Directorate of Intelligence (DI), which will enhance partner engagement and information reporting. In addition, the FBI undertook in 2012 a revision of its data access policies and implementation to better align with U.S. Government initiatives toward Attribute Based Access Controls for data.In 2012 strategic integration of technology and the continued evolution of sharing and safeguarding cultural changes increased FBI capacity to discover, access, share, and exploit information. Developments in technology tools and databases enhanced internal sharing and safeguarding of mission support, while organizational and cultural changes within the FBI itself significantly improved sharing with external partners throughout the year. Of particular note, in 2012 the FBI's Law Enforcement National Data Exchange (N-DEx) system made new categories and unprecedented amounts of information more accessible to the entire Justice Community.The FBI reaffirms its commitment to effectively and efficiently share information responsibly with authorized partners for mission success; and to safeguard sensitive information to protect privacy, civil liberties, and national security.
