The Pentagon intends to implement confidentiality agreements and selective polygraph tests for employees, in order to combat information leaks.

The measures proposed by the Pentagon include the signing of confidentiality agreements by over 5,000 employees, as well as random tests with lie detectors. These initiatives, under the coordination of Deputy Secretary of Defense Steve Feinberg, are criticized by analysts as aiming to strengthen internal control and loyalty to the current leadership, rather than to protect against external threats.
