Using an Intelligence Analysis Technique — On Ourselves

SUMMARY

The NSA faces a loss of expertise when baby boomers retire. The Knowledge Transfer Program used social network analysis tools to identify staffers from data-flow manager roles who are key assets in the in-house network, whose knowledge must be retained. This was an instance of "turning a methodology usually used to ... tear down our target networks, such as al Qaeda ... upon NSA itself."
