From a contracting notice posted by Social Security:
RFI [Request For Information] to gather vendor information for User Activity Monitoring (UAM) with capabilities to enhance agency Insider Threat Program to deter, detect, mitigate, and negate insider threats to the agency workforce, assets, and reputation. The RFI also seeks to find case management solutions tailored for controlled unclassified and classified environments to implement in compliance to multiple Executive Orders. …
“Reputation” could cover things like expressing negative opinions about agency policies and leaders even in social media. This may fit in with the reports about Palantir providing spyware.
Why would the Agency need insider threat protection considering two DOGE bros already stole all of our data?! BTW, what’s going on with that lawsuit where SSA already caught Musky’s boys doing nefarious things?
ReplyDeleteDamage to agency reputation is a long-standing consideration in federal sector employment law
ReplyDeleteIn a different context (the Douglas factors). I think the real problem lies more generally with the whole “insider threat” concept, which was dreamt up as a cover to legitimize going after whistleblowers even before they exercise their first amendment right to speak publicly on matters of public interest.
Delete"Insider Threat" sounds like a good name for the Netflix limited series biopic about Leland Dudek.
