Employee Key Agreement: Fill & Download for Free

I'm Facebook's Chief Security Officer and I oversee data security at the company. Thanks for the question. We take our role as stewards of people's information very seriously and have invested heavily in protecting the data trusted to us.There is no "skeleton key." In fact, we have advanced internal tools that restrict access to information to only those employees who need it to do their jobs (e.g., investigating user reports).There is a cross-functional group of employees who work on these safeguards and appropriate access to these tools.Most employees do not have access and, those who do, must sign an agreement and complete a training program before using our internal tools. Finally, we track the actions performed through internal tools.Each use is logged and requires the employee to explain the purpose of his or her use, and we audit all of this regularly.Neither Mark nor any other senior executive at the company has tool access granted, because they do not have roles in the company where access would be necessary.

Probably not.The key indicators are:None of her past lovers or “flings" have publicly discussed their relationships favorably - If DeGeneres was “cool", she would have numerous exes gushing about that. They aren't.She has her employees sign nondisclosure agreements - While this is common in the entertainment industry, it's also an indication that there are aspects of the celebrity's personality that they want,or need, to be hidden from the general public. Although DeGeneres’ NDAs aren't as stringent as Oprah Winfrey's, they are harsh enough to make discussing her by ex-employees very expensive for those individuals.Her fellow comedians are oddly silent about her - If Ellen DeGeneres was deemed to be “cool" everyone would want her to be in their projects, on their podcasts, or on their series if they have one. They don't do that with Ellen.The media doesn't trumpet her “coolness” - If DeGeneres was indeed “cool" the media would shout that out from the rooftops. They don't, and in fact, they are satisfied with canned interviews from DeGeneres which almost never stray into controversial areas.DeGeneres is a 62 year old who has a raft of personal issues and is apparently not the same as she presents herself as being on air. If someone is looking for “cool", they should probably look elsewhere.

When you move up the ladder, your value add often comes from your power to coordinate. When two students quarrel, it is the teacher who gets to lose the most. When two employees quarrel, it is their boss who gets to lose the most. When two nations quarrel, it is the trading powers who have the most to lose.For a century now, US built its core competency on security and coordination between nations. It was the security blanket for UK in the WW1 and it was the security blanket for UK in WW2. And it got handsomely paid for that both in interest it charged for the loans as well as in key technology. The UK transferred a lot of key national secrets to the US in return for American help [A trunk full of Britain’s WWII secrets saved the world].When it helped rebuild Europe after WWII, US got favorable trade agreements and contracts for its own companies. Thus, the 50s was a big period of prosperity for the Americans. And same strings gets attached to a lot of US favors [US food aid is like modern-day Marshall Plan with strings attached].When it helps the Saudis through its various bases in the ME, US gets to have a large importer that pays a premium for American toys. The Saudis have also infused money into US system in times of crisis like the 2008 and have provided fairly cheap oil. [Here's What Saudi Arabia Is Buying In Its $110 Billion Arms Deal]When the Americans talk to Indians or Filipinos or the Japanese about their security, they would be carrying a key wishlist from companies such as Boeing, GE, Caterpillar, John Deere, Dow etc. [Boeing Loosens Airbus’s India Grip With $22 Billion SpiceJet Win]When it helps the Israelis with aid, it gets access to key tech [often developed jointly] and gets to decide to whom Israel can sell its key tech. It also puts pressure on the other nations in the region to be on America’s good books.Here is a map of US bases:Source: Where in the World Is the U.S. Military?Some of the locations above [such as in India] is disputed. However, the key you can derive is, US forces are concentrated around the key trade routes - Panama Canal, Suez Canal, Malacca Straits and around Japan & Europe, where its key rivals [China and Russia] are to be checked. On the other hand, there are almost no bases in South America, most of Africa - where there are no key trade routes.Like the various major powers in the past, US coordinates among the small nations and provides security in return for key access for its companies. China is starting to do the same now and UK has done the same in the past.If I were cynical, I would say US rents its military to others in order to secure key economic benefits for its domestic economy. However, realistically it is a trade. US provides one value [security through its bases] and gets one value [favorable trade agreements].
