event at Fort Meade, Md.
The agency will take a cue from its neighbor, the National Security
Agency, gathering and analyzing large amounts of data already coming in

take advantage of the neighborhood. ... These guys know how to build
analytic clouds down the street," said Mark Orndorff, DISA program
executive officer for mission assurance and network operations, according
to a FierceGovernmentIT report. "So, we're going to adopt those
techniques, technology that NSA has leveraged and built over the years –
