“NSA director Keith Alexander told a conference in New York City that headcount among its system administrators would be severely curtailed in the future. Roughly 1,000 such employees maintain the agency’s networks and equipment. The NSA is dismissing all those people in the name of secrecy. ‘What we’ve done,’ Alexander added, ‘is we’ve put people in the loop of transferring data, securing networks and doing things that machines are probably better at doing.’ An automated system operated by a minimum of human beings, on the other hand, will make the NSA’s digital assets more defensible.”
