CIA puts the digital revolution at the core of its mission
Every Silicon Valleyite's favorite buzzword -- innovation -- has been picked up by the CIA.
The Central Intelligence Agency announced publicly on Friday that -- as part of one of the largest agency makeovers since its founding in 1947 -- it's creating a new top-level directorate called the Directorate of Digital Innovation.
The directorate will, according to The Washington Post, assimilate existing units at the agency, including the Information Operations Center, which evaluates threats to US computer systems and also engages in cyberespionage, and the Open Source Center, which, among other things, monitors social media and foreign websites.
