Information Security Oversight Office Releases 30th Annual Report to the President

Information Security Oversight Office Releases 30th Annual Report to the President

The Information Security Oversight Office (ISOO) announced today that it has released its Report to the President for Fiscal Year (FY) 2009.
...
The Report profiles data about the Government-wide security classification program during Fiscal Year 2009. This report represents the thirtieth Annual Report issued by ISOO. The first Report, covering FY 1979, was transmitted to President Carter in April of 1980.

ISOO noted in the Report that agencies have already made progress in limiting the delegation of original classification authority, as required by the President in his December 29, 2009 Memorandum on the implementation of Executive Order 13526, “Classified National Security Information.”

+ Agencies reported that in FY 2009, only 2,557 officials were delegated original classification authority which is down from 4,109 reported in FY 2008.

  • This is less than the average number FY 1980 through FY 2008 (5,400) and, in fact, is the lowest number ever reported.
  • This decrease was attributed to a special effort by the Department of State, which reduced its delegations from 2,560 to 999.

ISOO also noted several other positive developments:
+ Agencies reported a 10 percent reduction in original classification activity (new “secrets”).
+ Agencies also reported to ISOO that they assigned a duration of ten years or less in 67 percent of their original classification decisions, the highest percentage since FY1996.

Thursday, 24th May 2012

Recently I have found myself cooing over visualisation maps (and heat maps) of health and well being resources. The content rich data is overlayed with mapping technologies, and some interesting themes and patterns are emerging.


Click to view the article The fallacy of information overload
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

A lot of the talk around social media in the last year has been around information overload. Social media has provided us with new and exciting ways to create content. But it has also meant learning new ways to manage and engage with social media tools. Are we teetering on the edge of an information overload precipice?


Click to view the article Information overload: fact, fantasy or filter failure?
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

Information overload is a figment of your imagination. Or a failure of your filter. Or a symptom of your technological submissiveness. Depends on who you ask.


Click to view the article Newsdesk: tracking millions of pieces of information a day
Tuesday, 22nd May 2012

What if you had to sort through 3.5 million articles and social media posts a day and try to pull out the most relevant items for your organisation? What if you then had to cobble it all together into something readable for your top groups and executives in your organisation?
