"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.
It can be learned from the first paragraph that ________.
选项
A、the Snowden incident was a heavy blow to Booz Allen Hamilton
B、private firms and government spies have long worked together
C、cooperation between the private and public sectors should be stopped
D、many failed to note the role of private firms in the intelligence arena
答案
D
解析
根据题干定位到第一段。理解的关键在于第四句的That has turned a spotlight on the extensive involvement…,此处turn a spotlight on意为“注意到”,说明之前很多人没有注意到公私合作。D项使用的是过去时,说的正是过去没有注意到私有公司在美国情报领域所起的作用,故D项为本题答案。第一段仅仅说斯诺登是博思艾伦公司的技术承包人,对泄露一事负责的是斯诺登个人,泄密事件并没有怪罪到公司头上。重大打击说不上,故排除A项。第四句只是说斯诺登泄密事件引起人们关注私有企业大量参与帮助美国政府的情报工作,但他们合作了多久文章并未提及,B项的have long worked together无原文依据。C项中的should be stopped在原文中也找不到事实依据。
