The National Security Agency will not retreat from aggressively pursuing terrorists and other criminals attempting to bring down the country’s critical infrastructure, infiltrate and steal intellectual property and do harm to the United States and its allies, said former NSA Director General Keith Alexander (Ret.).
Alexander surprised hundreds of network security experts and other IT security professionals by taking the stage on Wednesday to address them at the Palo Alto Networks Ignite user conference. Speaking for the first time since retiring from his 39-year career in the U.S. Army on March 28, he called on government officials, legislators and experts in the technology industry must work together to find ways to protect civil liberties and privacy while maintaining the measures in place to secure the country.
“We’re not going to go back,” Alexander said. “This is too good for mankind what we have created in these networks. We’re going to move forward.”
