Think back to the Edward Snoden leaks... could it have been prevented?  Yes,
and quite easily if they had the right fail-safes in place.  How?  Well
determining a baseline and monitoring variations.  What doe that mean?  Well
if you monitored what a normal traffic pattern is on the file server and
there is a massive spike in download activity you could shut down a leech of
data before all of the crown jewels are exposed.  If an agency as elite as
NSA doesn't use a baseline and leeching controls there is something very
wrong in the intelligence community.  If they do implement such controls but
lets it get through anyway there is still a problem in the IC.  This is basic
CEH (certified ethical hacking) type of practice to be implemented---its not
a hard thing to put into place.
