Pentagon Wants Cloud Secure Enough to Hold Nuke Secrets
Nextgov ^ | May 14, 2018 | Frank Konkel

The Defense Department’s Joint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure cloud will be designed to host the government’s most sensitive classified data, including critical nuclear weapon design information and other nuclear secrets.

In response to questions from Nextgov, Defense Department spokeswoman Heather Babb confirmed “JEDI cloud services will be offered at all classification levels.” Babb said military and defense customers “will determine which applications and data migrate to the cloud.”

There is no good reason to connect such information to the Internet. The laziness and stupidity behind the idea are astounding. Only a blacksmith could appreciate such anvil-heads.

NO. We didn’t need it then, why all of a sudden, do we need it now? So some soyboy f-—ot f—k who works at google can subvert the whole thing and leave it vulnerable to backdoor attacks?

Get Brennan to set it up, Hillary’s basement for server space, and have Jim Comey write the documentation.

This is how the government works, isn’t it?

Well there are so many in the Government that need access to such information it has to be readily available.

Rotflmao!!

I think ALL of America's enemies are just patiently drooling for when this is implemented! if you think that Snowden was bad, then you have another thing coming! I mean, yeah just put ALL our top secret stuff on the Internet for all & sundry to get at it.

Just the Chinese alone they have over 300 million active users that cant wait to use their cyber tools to pry the secrets out.

Yeah, right...

Forty years in telecommunications, USAF, ITT, US Sprint, and 31 years MCI/Verizon Business. I'm retired now but not stupid.

Or anyone else as far as that goes!

Why hasn’t the team that proposed this been executed for conspiracy to commit treason already?

I still support Station Wagons full of hard drives.

SSDs are an improvement, in general.

Might have to move to SUVs though.
