“The NSA isn’t alone in the business of swapping secrets with the corporate world. The FBI, CIA, and DOD also have programs enabling them to exchange sensitive government information with corporate ‘partners’ in exchange for information that relate to network security. The NSA’s dual role as the security arbiter for many government networks and as point organization for the US government’s offensive cyberwarfare capabilities means that the information it gains from these special relationships could be used to craft exploits to gain access to the computer systems and networks of foreign governments, businesses, and individuals.”
