According to a new study from ThreatTrack Security, based on responses from 100 IT/InfoSec managers working for defense contractors here in the U.S., security posture and general practices have changed in the defense community thanks to the actions of Edward Snowden.
Snowden, a former NSA contractor, leaked more than a million classified documents to the press last summer. The data he released has been eye opening, revealing the massive surveillance programs developed by the NSA and Britain's GCHQ. As a result, defense contractors have started running a tighter ship, but that doesn't mean things are better.
