"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 surveillance of 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 techies 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 and crimebusters 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 savvy 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.
Some are worried about the cyber-industrial complex in that
选项
A、it is a duplicate of the military-industrial complex.
B、the possible intimate link will pose potential risks.
C、private and public sectors will conspire to monitor them.
D、they will be deprived of the right to the freedom of speech.
答案
B
解析
从题干可以看出,本题问的是对网络一工业联合体的担心的原因。文中第二段可以找到与题干对应的worrying一词,快速定位至此Some will see this as a worrying development.下一句便给出原因to givewarning about the dangers of too cosy a relationship…,理解这句话的关键在于cosy,与B项中的intimate同义,即二者之间关系过于密切会导致潜在危险。
