The first ever media campaign by the
National Security Agency
(
NSA
) of the
United States of America
bears the slogan, 'Information Security Begins With You!' The campaign is an attempt to promote awareness of the importance of data and information as intelligence to those who are considered 'enemies' of the United States (namely,
Al-Qaeda
and other
terrorist groups
). The NSA's target audience for the campaign is military personel who have access to sensitive information. Posters are to be hung in in key locations on U.S. military installations across the world. Additionally, it is probable that the
propaganda
(note: it is possible to have
good propaganda
) will be printed in
Military Times Media Group
publications, such as
The Army Times
,
Navy Times
,
Air Force Times
, and the
Marine Corps Times
.
The
Information Security
campaign is a first for the notoriously secretive NSA. Like all aspects of the NSA's budget, the cost of this media campaign remains classified.
NSA Representative Speaks
"The objective of the campaign is to underscore the critical need for information security to the men and women of the
U.S. Armed Forces
. Part of NSA's mission is "
information assurance
," the protection of the communications and information systems of the U.S.
Department of Defense
and its allies. To achieve this goal, we use a "
Defense in Depth
" strategy, a balanced focus on three primary elements: people, technology and operations. This campaign is one small part of the training and awareness for the "people" component. Unguarded information can be a valuable source of
intelligence
to our enemies. The increased threat of
terrorism
has intensified the demand for our military personnel to remain
vigilant
and alert, always on guard protecting information that our enemies could use to undermine our
national security
and harm the nation. This campaign is a visible reminder of this crucial responsibility."
Small images of four different posters have been released. They each include an American serviceman (one of which is a woman) from the three branches of the military plus the
Marine Corps
, each with other
patriotic
/military objects in the poster. They are painted, in a style similar to that seen in many American propaganda posters of
World War II
(perhaps hoping to capture some of the strong spirit and dedication that many Americans felt during that war). The posters were designed and printed by
Trahan, Burden & Charles
, an advertising/
media
firm from
Baltimore
.
Below the '
Information Security
Begins With You!' slogan, the text of the posters each reads:
"The success of America's
campaign against terrorism
depends on you. Don't help America's enemies plan another attack. Use
secure communications
when discussing
classified
or sensitive information. Handle and discard
memo
s, documents,
correspondence
and
email
s appropriately. Practice good
computer security
when accessing the
Internet
. Our enemies are unlike any we've enountered before. Don't arm them with information that can harm us."
