Social Media Monitoring Still a Gap in the Clearance Process


Air National Guardsman Jack Teixeira allegedly removed, without authorization, classified materials from information systems and controlled areas and posted it on social media platforms.

While sharing information to bolster one’s ego is not new, Teixeira’s exploitation represents the growing reality that online platforms and services are where individuals are turning to impress their associates and garner recognition.

The case again raises the topic the government has been wrestling with since the advent of the internet: the monitoring of social media for initial determination of eligibility, continuous evaluation, and the proactive identification of unauthorized disclosures.

Continued government debate over the appropriateness, legality, viability, and desirability of proactively accessing and analyzing public-facing social media to protect national security appears increasingly archaic when society now lives much of their lives online, which is the new and more relevant ‘neighborhood check’ to fulfill the federal investigative standards.

This debate seems further outdated when considering that today’s workers have immediate access to worlds of data, are algorithmically driven to seek controversial information, and are accustomed to engaging online, often anonymously without fear of any real response, with anyone at any time.

The recognition that Teixeira sought by sharing classified materials likely relates to a broader phenomenon, that many individuals want to be noticed, be the first in getting information to market, to go viral, and be the next powerful social media influencer.

Of greater concern, it likely reflects a world in which a growing demographic doesn’t understand the risk associated with sharing certain personal information and images on social media, which could lead to compromise and increased susceptibility to targeting, or other detrimental consequences such as property theft, physical harm, doxing, stolen identities, or blackmail.

It is unclear to what extent these unsafe online attitudes and behaviors in non-work settings affect an individual’s attitude and behavior for following security requirements to protect national…

Business process outsourcing co CGS Romania to hire 800 this year


BUCHAREST (Romania), July 6 (SeeNews) – The Romanian unit of business process outsourcing company Computer Generated Solutions (CGS) said on Wednesday it plans to hire 800 this year to meet growing demand for support services.

Jobs will be available in CGS’ support centres in Bucharest, Brasov, Sibiu, Targu-Jiu, Miercurea-Ciuc, Constanta and Galati and remotely in cities where the company does not have offices, CGS said in a press release.

“We maintain our recruitment rate from recent years, of over 200 new employees per month and we hope to add about 800 new colleagues this year to our local team, which currently has 4,300 employees,” CGS Romania country manager Vladimir Sterescu said.

“We have a substantially growing portfolio, many projects coming from U.S. companies active in healthcare, telecommunications and computer security, but we are also receiving more projects from existing companies, and this generates a need for expansion within our company.”

According to Sterescu, hiring people to work in a 100% remote system had a positive impact on the business last year.

U.S.-based CGS has been present on the Romanian market since 2006. It provides services in 18 languages from support centres in seven cities.

CGS was founded in 1984 in New York and currently employs over 7,500 across North America, Latin America, Europe, the Middle East and Asia.
