"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.
The cyber-industrial complex should be welcomed probably because ________.
选项
A、it can create more job opportunities in America
B、it can enhance industrialization of IT researches
C、it is a good way to combat online security threats
D、it can prevent scandals like the Snowden incident
答案
C
解析
根据题干的should be welcomed先定位到第四段第一句。该句表明总体来说有理由欢迎网络-工业联合体。接着分析原因,而在第五段由Because of指出第二个原因:政府和公司合作可以一起抵御网络安全威胁(online security threats),C项符合题意。第二段提到网络-工业联合体,并对其发展表示担忧。但第四段由But开头,话锋一转,开始分析欢迎其发展的三个原因:有才但性格怪异的人才可在联合体中发挥所长;政府和公司合作抵御网络威胁:前政府官员可以保护网络安全公司和咨询公司更好地运作。A项的create more job opportunities、B项的enhance industrialization of IT researches和D项的prevent scandals都未提及。
