Dearlove states that Palantir's intellectual property must be of massive interest to Russians and Chinese.
“your intellectual property must be of massive interest to the Russians and the Chinese. So you almost need a sort of protective organization.”
Dearlove compares Palantir to an intelligence organization that must spend resources protecting against penetration.
“I mean, in a way, you're rather like an intelligence and security organization where they have to spend an awful lot of time and energy and talent, as it were, protecting themselves against predation or penetration, to put it not too lightly.”
Dearlove says Palantir's intellectual property must be massive interest to Russia and China.
“your intellectual property must be a massive interest to the Russians and the Chinese. So you almost need, you know, a sort of protective organization.”
Dearlove says WikiLeaks leak resulted from stunning US IT incompetence following post-9/11 information-sharing mandate.
“The fact that these are in the public domain is a consequence of stunning incompetence in terms of the US government's IT security and should never have happened.”
Dearlove outlines basic IT security protocols that US systems violated: no downloads, no printing, keystroke auditing.
“Now the first thing you do is if you're trying to protect secrets, you don't have any openings on your system. You can read on the screen. Every keystroke is audited.”
Dearlove describes basic security protocols that US systems failed to implement: no print, no download, keystroke auditing.
“You can read on the screen. Every keystroke is audited. You can't print. You can't download. I mean that's just so basic. It's ridiculous.”
