For years, jail cellular telephone phones conduct maintain been banned from many offices inwards the Pentagon, non to advert whatever Secure Compartmentalized Information Facility (SCIF). The argue was simple: anything that tin transmit too has a microphone tin live on used to tape too post information. If it’s got a camera, too therefore photographs or video tin live on taken every bit well. Today, the threat is less obvious. It comes from those Apple Watches, Garmins, Fitbits, custom smartwatches too other remote sensors that rails your location too part it amongst remote databases. “These geolocation capabilities tin reveal personal information, locations, routines, too numbers of DoD personnel, too potentially do unintended safety consequences too increased opportunity to the articulation strength too mission,” says Shanahan’s memo, which was released past times the Pentagon press portion besides ensure everyone sees it. This was all sparked when reports surfaced before this twelvemonth of a fitness-tracking company, Strava, publishing maps showing where users jog, bike too exercise. Since many of its users are members of the military, their jogging routes too other exercises showed just where the USA has service members around the world, every bit good every bit showing their running routes.
In Pentagon-speak, here’s the wide problem:
“The chop-chop evolving marketplace position of devices, applications, too services amongst geolocation capabilities (e.g., fitness trackers, smartphones, tablets, smartwatches, too related software applications) presents meaning opportunity to Department of Defense (DoD) personnel both on too off duty, too to our military machine operations globally.”
Strava manifestly intended no terms but, y'all tin jurist how uneasy this made service members too senior Pentagon officials. H5N1 review of Pentagon policies almost the devices that made this possible was ordered too that’s what this memo is all about.
Note the requirement for the Chief lnformation Officer (CIO) too the Undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence (USDI) to “jointly develop” guidance too grooming for commanders too others.
