"At Booz Allen, we’re shaping the future of cyber-security," trumpets a recruiting message on the website of Booz Allen Hamilton, a consulting and technology firm. It is hard to argue with that exaggeration right now. Edward Snowden, the man who revealed he was responsible for leaks about monitoring American citizens by the National Security Agency (NSA), was a contractor working for Booz Allen. That has turned a spotlight on the extensive involvement of private firms in helping America’s spies to do their jobs. The affair could lead to changes in the way these relationships work.
The role of firms such as Booz Allen in the intelligence arena and the flow of government cyber-tsars into tech companies are evidence of an emerging cyber-industrial complex in which the private and public sectors are intimately linked. Some will see this as a worrying development, noting that President Dwight Eisenhower used the term "military-industrial complex" in a speech in 1961 to give warning about the dangers of too cosy a relationship between government, military men and defence contractors.
There are risks inherent in the cyber-industrial complex too. Mr. Snowden’s leak will raise questions about just how watertight firms such as Booz Allen can keep their operations. There is also a theoretical risk that former officials might tap their friends in government to give their new employers an unfair advantage in bidding for federal contracts or to influence policy for commercial advantage.
But there are also reasons why the cyber-industrial complex should, on balance, be welcomed. For a start, many talented but weird teenies would refuse to work for government agencies. Better to have them work as contractors than not to enlist their talents at all. Deep-pocketed firms may also be best placed to attract rare birds such as data scientists.
Because of the danger that online security threats pose, companies need to co-operate closely with government spies to counter them. Former cyber-officials can advise firms how best to do this. Moreover, if the government wants to continue to benefit from the intelligence of its departing cyber-warriors, it can always hire their new firms.
Government types can also help cyber-security firms and consultancies, which are prime targets for hackers, to protect their own operations better. Dmitri Alperovitch, a founder of CrowdStrike, a cyber-security company that hired Shawn Henry after he retired from a senior position at the FBI, says that in addition to working with clients Mr. Henry is also responsible for CrowdStrike’s own internal security.
Shawn Henry is mentioned in the last paragraph to ________.
选项
A、demonstrate that he is one of the so-called government types
B、justify the intimate link between private and public sectors
C、show that companies closely cooperate with government
D、illustrate the help rendered by former officials to companies
答案
D
解析
根据题干定位到最后一段。本段中心句是首句:政府官员可帮助保护网络安全公司和咨询公司更好地运作。为了印证这一观点,作者举了CrowdStrike公司的例子,他们招募了前FBI高管肖恩.亨利管理公司事务。因此,提到肖恩.亨利是为了说明前政府官员对公司提供的帮助,D项与之对应,语义相符,故为答案,A项只是客观事实,肖恩.亨利曾是政府部门的一员,提到他不是为了证明这一点。B项和C项与末段大意相去甚远,该段并未提到公司与政府的合作是否亲密,且肖恩.亨利只是前政府官员,不能代表政府。
